The Satchmo Legacy


The Satchmo Legacy is the final studio album by trumpeter Benny Bailey featuring performances associated with Louis Armstrong which was recorded in late 1999 and originally released on the Enja label.

Reception

Alex Henderson of Allmusic says, "On this session, Bailey's playing isn't as forceful, aggressive, and brassy as it was in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, although he is still enjoyable and expressive. The Satchmo Legacy isn't among Bailey's essential albums and isn't recommended to casual listeners, but it's a respectable effort that his diehard fans will appreciate".
