The last great performance by the most influential American musician of all time, Louis Armstrong.

Recorded live at the BBC on 2 July, 1968 just weeks after the groundbreaking Grammy Award-winning artist hit the #1 spot on the UK charts with What A Wonderful World the 13-track collection is accompanied by extensive liner notes by Armstrongs biographer and Director of Research Collections for the Louis Armstrong House Museum, Ricky Riccardi.

From redefining jazz with his revolutionary trumpet playing to singlehandedly inventing popular singing, Louis Armstrong made a greater impact on American popular music than any other single artist before or since. In July 1968, Armstrong and his renowned band, The All-Stars, travelled to England and entered the BBCs London studios to record a performance, full of vitality and joy, that manifested some of the most inspired singing and trumpet playing of his remarkable career.
