Pops at his most upbeat, live with his sextet.

We Say...
Recorded live at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival with his regular sextet (including the exuberant trombonist Trummy Young), this is one of Armstrong's most raucous albums, the one that reveals more consonance than many imagine between the old-time Dixieland and the then-emerging avant-garde. There's the same group improvisation, the overlapping dissonance, a freedom from set meter. Armstrong had just recently turned the title tune into a hit song, and he blares it, on his trumpet and with his voice, with a heady brio. The set includes old-time classics ("Indiana," "Mahogany Hall Stomp," "Sweet Georgia Brown") and the band tears into all of them.

They Say...
Before his appearance at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival, Louis Armstrong learned that the promoters planned to shunt aside his regular band in favor of a group of his historical associates. Never a pushover and always protective of his sidemen, Armstrong threw a major temper tantrum that resulted in his regular show going on as usual. No hint of the turmoil can be heard during this swinging concert appearance, which features the trumpeter, trombonist Trummy Young, and clarinetist Edmund Hall romping through their usual program, highlighted by "Now You Has Jazz" (from the movie High Society), "Mahogany Hall Stomp, " some individual features, and Armstrong's recent hit "Mack the Knife."
