The album includes 7 of Armstrong’s best-known songs including C’est Si Bon (It’s So Good), Someday, When It’s Sleepy Time Down South, Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen, When The Saints Go Marching In, Jerry, and Now You Has Jazz.

Whether they called Louis Armstrong “Satchmo” or simply the “man with the silver trumpet”, millions of people, from Mongolia to Munich, Milano, and Mozambique, recognized the cherubic countenance, gravel voice, and high, rhythmic notes. The music that bought thousands to greet him and hear him wherever he went – the magnetism was, at times, as awesome as his music could be. Louis Armstrong was one of the greatest musicians Jazz ever produced– and few, if any, will argue against this – the greatest.

This album has been transferred from the Original Analog Master Tape to Stereo DSD and DXD by Rene Laflamme at 2xHD Mastering. A Stereo DSD 512 edition of Now You Has Jazz has been prepared by Tom Caulfield at the NativeDSD Mastering Lab.  The album is only available in Stereo DSD 512 at NativeDSD.

This album brings together takes from two recordings from Vache made in 1976 (First Time Out) and 1993 (Encore ’93).  The 1976 session with Vache and Pizzarelli are featured on tracks 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 while the 1993 session which adds four more Jazz stars are available on tracks 1, 7, 8 and 9.

In the 1976 recording, Vaché teams up with Bucky Pizzarelli, master of the Jazz guitar, known for his uncommonly sweet and delicate tone and disarmingly straightforward approach to melodic line. Pizzarelli was among the few guitarists to play an instrument with seven strings rather than the customary six, thus covering the bass line. With these two fabulous musicians one does not miss the traditional rhythm section.

Warren Vache – Trumpet
Bucky Pizzarelli – Guitar
Kenny Davern – Soprano Saxophone (Tracks 1,7,8,9)
Wayne Wright – Guitar (Tracks 1,7,8,9)
Michael Moore – Bass (Tracks 1,7,8,9)
Connie Kay – Drums (Tracks 1,7,8,9)

Louis Armstrong was a man who liked to please the folks and he saw no compromise in pleasing them with his highly individualistic singing, and his incomparable trumpet playing.  He was a natural entertainer, by gift and by inclination.  This album is truly representative of the man, as it presents all facets of his talent.
