Review by Tatiana Özvegy

The Paris Jazz Concert Olympia 24 April 1962 is an exceptional album by Louis Armstrong And His All Stars. The album features some of the most iconic jazz performances by Armstrong and his band, recorded live at the Olympia in Paris.

The album showcases the virtuosity and showmanship of Armstrong, who was at the peak of his career during the early 60s. The tracks are a mix of Armstrong's classics such as "Hello, Dolly!" and "Mack the Knife" and some lesser-known gems like "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" and "Tiger Rag."

The album also features outstanding solos by the other members of the All Stars, including Trummy Young on trombone, Peanuts Hucko on clarinet, and Billy Kyle on piano. The band's tight interplay and improvisational skills are evident throughout the album, making it a must-have for jazz enthusiasts.

The sound quality of the album is superb, capturing the energy and excitement of the live performance. The audience's reactions and applause add to the atmosphere, making the listener feel as if they were in the audience at the Olympia.
