LCCN 2010046541 Type of material Book Personal name Riccardi, Ricky, 1980-Main title What a wonderful world: the magic of Louis Armstrong's later years / Ricky Riccardi. Edition 1st ed. Published/Created New York: Pantheon Books, c2011. Description xxii, 369 p., [16] p. of plates: ill.; 25 cm. ISBN 9780307378446 (hbk. ) 0307378446 (hbk. ) LC classification ML419. A75 R47 2011 Summary Much has been written about Louis Armstrong, but the majority of it focuses on the early and middle stages of his long career. Now, Ricky Riccardi--jazz scholar and musician--takes an in-depth look at the years in which Armstrong was often dismissed as a buffoonish, if popular, entertainer, and shows us instead the inventiveness and depth of expression that his music evinced during this time. These are the years (from after World War II until his death in 1971) when Armstrong entertained crowds around the world and recorded his highest-charting hits, including "Mack the Knife" and "Hello, Dolly! "; years when he collaborated with, among others, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Dave Brubeck; when he recorded with strings and big bands, and, of course, with the All Stars, his primary recording ensemble. Riccardi makes clear that these were years in which Armstrong enhanced his legacy as one of jazz's most influential figures. --From publisher description.
