Louis Armstrong - One Night In Highland Park

One Night in Highland Park presents a previously unreleased live recording of Louis Armstrong and The All Stars (Trummy Young, trombone | Edmond Hall, clarinet | Billy Kyle, piano | Squire Gersh, bass | Barrett Deems, drums).

The concert took place in the auditorium of a high school in Highland Park, where Armstrong performed as part of a local benefit evening. The recording was made by Joel Goldstein, who at the time was stage manager of the school's student technical crew. The recordings were carefully preserved and remained unreleased for nearly seven decades. Until now.

One Night in Highland Park is more than a rediscovered concert: it is a vivid portrait of Armstrong's artistic talent, stamina, humanity, and enduring ability to connect with his audience and unite an entire community.

The recording has been transferred, mixed, and mastered by Kevin Reeves. The liner notes are written by Armstrong biographer Ricky Riccardi, of the Louis Armstrong House Museum.
