LOUIS ARMSTRONG / ルイ・アームストロング / THE LOUIS ARMSTRONG COLLECTION(2CD) / CD

今年2011年に名実共に“ジャズの巨人”であるサッチモことLouis Armstrongが生誕110年、没後40年を迎えることを記念し最強の2枚組ベスト盤をリリース。Verve,Geffen,Deccaなどレーベルの壁を越えての決定盤ベスト。1901年8月4日に生まれ1971年7月6日まで駆け抜けた生涯、Louis Armstrongといえば"What a Wonderful World"や"Hello Dolly"を映画やTVコマーシャルで使われているのを聴いて知ったという方も多いと思いますが、彼はテクニカル的にも音楽的才能においてもホンモノの天才であり1920年後半以降のジャズ・ミュージシャン誰もの憧れの存在なのです。Miles Davis曰く「Louisが吹いていない音楽をホーンで吹くことはできない。すなわち何をどうホーンで演奏してもそれは既にLouisが吹いたものになってしまう。」 この夏には世界的にLouis Armstrongに捧げたブック・マガジンが本屋さんでは展開されBBCではサッチモ特別番組が放映(世界中に配信予定)、Dr.JohnのLouis Armstrongトリビュート作品などのリリース予定もあり、聴いたことない方はぜひこの機会にLouis Armstongを聴いて欲しい!ジャズ初心者の方にもオススメです。(新譜案内より)
