Summary
Jazz icon Louis Armstrong, always the consummate entertainer, turned a 1971 award ceremony at the National Press Club into an impromptu performance that was one of his last concerts before passing away five months later. Joined by longtime band-mates Tyree Glenn and Tommy Gwaltney, Armstrong shows no signs of frailty on classics including 'Mack the Knife'. The recording, originally a limited vinyl release by the National Press Club, is now available widely for the first time on CD.
