Review by Joanna MaGrath

Louis Armstrong's album, High Society When The Saints Go Marchin In, is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the trumpeter's exceptional talent and unique style. Released in 1956, the album features some of Armstrong's most iconic performances, including the title track, "When The Saints Go Marchin In," which has become a classic jazz standard.

The album's opening track, "High Society," sets the tone for what is to come: a lively and upbeat collection of songs that celebrates the spirit of New Orleans jazz. Armstrong's trumpet playing is nothing short of extraordinary, with his signature vibrato and melodic improvisation shining through on every track.

Other standout tracks include "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Mack The Knife," and "St. James Infirmary," all of which feature Armstrong's soulful vocals and impeccable phrasing. The album also includes several instrumental tracks, such as "Tiger Rag" and "Royal Garden Blues," that showcase the virtuosity of Armstrong and his band.
