Product Information

This release contains the complete classic album "Louis and the Good Book", which presents Satchmo playing and singing timeless spirituals and traditional songs with arrangements by Sy Oliver.

The bonus album, "Louis and the Angels", was also arranged by Oliver. It has Armstrong performing angel-related tunes. Both records were issued by Decca in the mid-50s, aimed at the popular market. The world-famous trumpeter and singer brings his usual joyful approach to another aspect of his cultural heritage.

As an extra bonus, the rare unedited version of Louis’ superb 1957 instrumental duet with Billy Kyle on 'Dear Old Southland', based on an old spiritual.
