This lesser-known collection from Louis Armstrong possesses an intriguing allure. The distinguished trumpeter and vocalist presents a dozen songs, all featuring the terms “heaven” or “angel” in their titles or lyrics. He’s accompanied by the Sy Oliver Orchestra and an ethereal female choir, contributing to the celestial ambiance. Armstrong delivers several commendable trumpet solos and maintains a cheerful demeanor throughout, even injecting humor into “The Prisoner’s Song” when the word “angel” eventually emerges. Highlights include renditions of “When Did You Leave Heaven,” “I Married An Angel,” and “I’ll String Along With You.” Despite leaning toward a more commercial style compared to Armstrong’s typical recordings from that period, this album proves more memorable than anticipated, warranting a dedicated search for enthusiasts. French 1958 pressing. Beautiful record.
