One legend was not enough for jazz; when Dean Martin and Louis Armstrong decided to duet, both’s unique styles combined into one masterpiece—a perfect fusion of jazz, swing, and charisma.
First, they begin with banter, where Martin comments on Armstrong’s ability to ‘break the sound barrier,’ and Armstrong just sets the stage for the performance of a lifetime with his trademark ear-to-ear grin. The performance feels like two friends having a good time together more so than it weighing any kind of stress on the two giants.
Dean Martin & Louis Armstrong
First, we get Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody; here, Martin’s smooth vocals glide here and there, while Armstrong lets his raspy voice and trumpet improvisations take the front-seat. The chemistry is so strong, you can feel it in the air!
Still though, what Armstrong performance would be complete without When The Saints Go Marching In. The song sees an immediate shift in energy, where Armstrong’s trumpet leaves behind brief improvisations and takes center-stage, while Martin jumps in to make the performance celebratory and legendary. If you love this, you have to listen to the original!
