Louis Armstrong And His All Stars - The Sunshine Of Love

Review by John Snowden

Louis Armstrong and His All Stars' album, The Sunshine of Love, is a magnificent collection of jazz classics that will have listeners tapping their toes and humming along from start to finish. Featuring Armstrong's signature trumpet playing and the skillful musicianship of his band, the album is a timeless tribute to the golden age of jazz.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively "When the Saints Go Marching In," setting the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight harmonies and Armstrong's virtuosic trumpet playing are on full display in this classic tune. Other standout tracks include the soulful ballad "La Vie En Rose," the swinging "Ain't Misbehavin'," and the jaunty "Hello, Dolly!"

Throughout the album, Armstrong's gravelly voice adds a touch of warmth and personality to each song, making them feel like old friends. The band's energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and it's impossible not to feel uplifted by the joyful music.
