This collection contains Louis Armstrong's concert in Katanga, Africa, recorded in November 1960, and a bonus disc of greatest hits.
In November 1960, Louis Armstrong and his orchestra embarked for Africa as Honorary Ambassadors of the U.S. State Department. The diplomatic mission in no way dampened Armstrong's usual jovial behavior, nor did it stifle his legendary and natural spontaneity, as is so brilliantly heard on this exuberant performance recorded live in Katanga.
This previously unreleased historic recording documents the concert Louis Armstrong gave in Katanga, Africa, in 1960, as Honorary Ambassador of the U.S. State Department. A double-disc set including material selected from two different African concerts and a handful of tracks from a performance in France, THE KATANGA CONCERT reminds us that Armstrong not only wrote the book on jazz, but went about reading it to the entire world in his gruff, lovable voice.
The track list here consists mostly of the standards, show tunes, and Armstrong originals that were the staples of his 1950s and '60s All-Stars show. Reaching back to his early OKeh catalog, Pops lets fly with such New Orleans classics as "Struttin' With Some Barbecue" and "St. Louis Blues." Latter-day signature tunes such as "That's My Desire" and "Mack the Knife" are given warm, familiar readings here, with fine playing and singing from the maestro. Armstrong's backing band is in fine form, with Velma Middleton on hand for a charming version of "That's My Desire." As can be judged from the rapturous audience response, these classic songs and performances have an effect that speaks volumes for the artistry and worldwide appeal of this jazz legend.

It seems that record labels will go to extremes to release "new" recordings by jazz legends who aren't around to contest them. The two-CD compilation The Katanga Concert, released in 2000, combines a previously unreleased concert from 1960 by Louis Armstrong in Katanga, Africa, with 17 tracks that were previously issued on one of two earlier Milan CDs, Blueberry Hill and What a Wonderful World: The Elizabethtown Concert.
