Louis Armstrong liked to say that he was raised a Baptist, always wore a Star of David around his neck, and was friends with the Pope. In other words, Armstrong's religion was as hard to characterize in a single word as his music.
No jazz artist's music was as spiritually moving as Armstrong's but this classic 1958 LP was the only album he ever made that was specifically devoted to religious songs. The results are joyous, solemn, whimsical, even at times gently mocking -- but always upliftingly Satchmo.
This reissue includes Armstrong's celebrated Elder Eatmore mock sermons and four other tracks recorded in 1938, as well as two selections from 1950.
Original recordings produced by Milt Gabler and others
Although this CD reissue by Louis Armstrong is promoted as a jazz release, the jazz content of the music within this compilation of religious songs is rather minimal. The corny Sy Oliver arrangements and the dreadful backing choir repeatedly prove to be very distracting; the few times that Armstrong and his band are able to cut loose, they are almost always still stuck with the annoying choir in the background. Armstrong's vocals are frequently amusing, especially "Shadrack" and "Jonah and the Whale." The original 1958 sessions are augmented by earlier religious songs from studio dates in 1938 and 1950, including earlier versions of "Shadrack" and "Jonah and the Whale." Armstrong's brutal narrative parodies of con man preachers (predating Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, and similar pastors who seem to focus on money and power in spite of their rather blatantly public sins) in "Elder Eatmore's Sermon on Throwing Stones" and "Elder Eatmore's Sermon on Generosity" were inspired by his disgust with Rev. Adam Clayton Powell's excessive moralizing during the funeral of his friend and former employer Joe Oliver. Although these two tracks contain no jazz, they are the most memorable numbers on the CD. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |
