Genius is an overused term, but it clearly applied/applies to Louis Armstrong, and in the way that people from all walks of life, from all generations and all corners of the world realize that immediately, without having to study or ponder or acquire taste and understanding first makes him unique. And Up a Lazy River is one of his most stupendous moments. Perfect and endlessly listenable.

As a music theory buff, and retired music engraver, while I appreciate the scat notation, I see it was notated in the key of E with manually added accidentals to make it key of G compatible. While this rendition opens with an E chord, the main body of the song is clearly in the key of G.

The scat runs Satchmo did on this song...most peoole dont understand how relevant this moment was. It created the musical alphabet that would become Jazz in all its various forms...even beebop. If not for Armstrong there would be no Coltrane.

An absolute miracle of phrasing! I was listening to Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" recently and realized that the way she sings the opening verses in her song mimics the way he opens the singing in this masterpiece.

Thanks Don! This is a wonderful presentation of a fantastic early jazz recording by the one and only "Satchmo!"

Louis was the first musician so popular that he was ubiquitous. Almost generic. Literally everyone loved his music. Globally. The next time it happened was MJ. In a way, we could say that Louis was the first MJ level artist of american music. #Satchmo
