Trumpet Solo on
Moonlight in Vermont

About

"Moonlight in Vermont" is one of the most tender performances on the 1956 Verve album Ella and Louis, with Louis Armstrong's half-chorus trumpet solo over the 26-bar AABA form at a gentle 69 beats per minute creating a moment of quiet beauty. Louis Armstrong was 54 to 55 years old at the time of this 1956 recording.
