Satchmo on Satchmo: The Louis Armstrong Tapes
Hear jazz legend Louis Armstrong singing, talking and telling jokes, in largely unheard home recordings.
Broadcaster and journalist Paul Sexton sets the scene for a unique review of great man's life and times - unique because it's by Louis himself, talking about his life and times in largely unheard home recordings. Armstrong was one of the first artists to embrace reel-to-reel home tape technology. He loved to record his own voice for posterity, whenever the occasion allowed, from around 1950 (when he had already been an artist for some 30 years) until shortly before his death in 1971.
