5606. Louis Armstrong and Oscar Peterson - Blues in the Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me)
 |
| From: Louis Armstrong meets Oscar Peterson; Year: 1957; Genre: Swing Jazz |
After watching another documentary on the landmark musical legend Louis Armstrong I decided to delve back into the stratospheric mountain of music he performed and came upon his and Oscar Peterson and his band's rendition of this jazz standard.
I remember hearing the lyrics from the piece many times over the years, mostly on the classic Warner Brothers Merry Melodies animated short films. Even if you do not recognize the song by its title, chances are you'll recognize some of the phrases and lyrics within that've been used over the 80 years since its writing in media and pop culture.
Anyway, on this song, as well as the entire album, "Satchmo" really fits in well with Oscar Peterson's band singing and playing his signature horn; they are all a great well-oiled musical dynamo across the board.
