Vinyl LP pressing. The A-list ensemble The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong All Stars release their tribute album to the great musician, A Gift To Pops. It celebrates the continuing influence and undying legacy of the jazz giant and storied entertainer, 50 years after his death in 1971, with special guests including Wynton Marsalis and Common. The group is comprised largely of stellar Crescent City musicians, who have inventively re-envisioned music associated with the trumpeter and vocalist during his five-decade career. A Gift To Pops includes new arrangements and performances of tunes ranging from "The Peanut Vendor" (recorded by "Satchmo" in 1930) to his late-period No.1 "What a Wonderful World," the most successful recording of his career).
