‘Zat You, Santa Claus

Louis Armstrong is so famous as a trumpeter that you could say there isn’t anyone in the jazz world who doesn’t know him.

‘’Zat You, Santa Claus’ is a hidden gem where, in addition to his trumpet playing, his gravelly voice sounds incredibly cool.

While some people might associate jazz numbers with a stylish, laid-back vibe, this song is packed with Armstrong’s signature, rugged, masculine charm within that sweet jazz atmosphere.

It’s highly recommended for anyone who’s grown tired of pop-leaning jazz!
