Louis Armstrong And His Orchestra - No Basin Street Blues

Review by Christian Shelton

Louis Armstrong And His Orchestra's album No Basin Street Blues is a masterpiece of jazz music. The album features some of the finest musicians of the era, including Armstrong himself on trumpet and vocals, along with Earl Hines on piano and Zutty Singleton on drums.

The album opens with the title track, "No Basin Street Blues," which sets the tone for the entire album. It is a lively and upbeat song that showcases Armstrong's incredible trumpet playing and vocals. The album also features several other upbeat tracks, such as "St. James Infirmary" and "Dinah," which are sure to get listeners tapping their feet and nodding their heads in time with the music.

However, the album also has its share of slower, more introspective tracks, such as "Body and Soul" and "I Surrender Dear." These songs allow Armstrong to showcase his emotional range as a musician, and they provide a nice contrast to the more upbeat tracks on the album.

Summary by Christian Shelton

No Basin Street Blues is a must-have for any fan of jazz music. It is a timeless classic that showcases the incredible talent of Louis Armstrong and his orchestra. Whether you are a seasoned jazz aficionado or a casual listener, this album is sure to delight and entertain.
