The crowd is white, the band is black. Best Armstrong song imo.

Wynton's immense talent was able to shine through thanks to the pioneering genius of Louis Armstrong and many others who fought racism and segregation. The fact that this clip was shot in Copenhagen is testimony to a man who, through amazing music, broke through the constraints of race to bring jazz to the world.

Pure genius!

Hey, what's up with all the Marsalis hate? He's keeping such the beautiful jazz tradition alive.

@AuroraCelest I'm sure he is, although not alltogether unbiased against white musicians. And to call him better than Louis is laughable.

Not actually live on stage in Copenhagen, but a clip from the Danish film, "København, Kanundborg, og ?" The applauding audience was edited in, which I think is rather obvious. There are 3 numbers by Louis from this film--all extraordinary. Don't watch this one in the Ken Burns disaster, he cuts away to sill talking heads after the vocal, covering that wonderful solo with nonsense by Stanley Crouch and Wynton Marsalis.

With "live" I meant that the sound wasn't dubbed in. In that respect it is "live on stage".
