Disney Songs: the SATCHMO WAY
Photo of Louis Armstrong "In my opinion, Louis Armstrong is the greatest trumpet stylist of all time and has influenced every trumpet player of his time and long after."
­Al Hirt

"For many years, Walt Disney -- and the legacy he left behind -- have similarly entertained and fascinated audiences. . .So it is only fitting that this compilation of Disney tunes by Louis Satchmo Armstrong be re-released: a joint project by two of the greatest entertainers of all time."
­Leroy Jones

 
We're jazzing things up with the re-release of the 1968 Louis Armstrong: Disney Songs the Satchmo Way. The album features 10 classic Disney tunes, performed by the man known as "the father of modern jazz," who died in 1971. The package includes liner notes from three renowned jazz trumpet players from New Orleans ­ Al Hirt, Terence Blanchard, and Leroy Jones.

Photo: Armstrong and Disney Armstrong was approached by Walt Disney in 1966 to record the songs featured on the album, which include: "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," "Ten Feet Off the Ground," "Heigh-Ho," "Whistle While You Work," "Chim Chim Cher-ee," Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," "'Bout Time," "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," "The Bare Necessities," and "When You Wish Upon a Star."

Known throughout the music world simply as "Satchmo" or "Pops," Armstrong was born in New Orleans and received tutoring from the legendary King Oliver. The musician honed his skills while playing clubs in the French Quarter at a young age. He left New Orleans at age 17 and headed for Chicago, where he embarked on a remarkable career that spanned seven decades. His legacy continues to influence and inspire jazz musicians around the world.
