A jazz pioneer, Louis Armstrong was the first important soloist to emerge in jazz, and he became the most influential musician in the music's history. As a trumpet virtuoso, his playing charted a future for jazz in highly imaginative, emotionally charged improvisation. But Armstrong also became an enduring figure in popular music due to his distinctively phrased baritone singing and engaging personality, which were on display in a series of vocal recordings and film roles. His biggest hits include “What A Wonderful World,” “La Vie En Rose,” “Summertime,” “West End Blues,” “When You're Smilin',” “Blueberry Hill,” “Hello, Dolly!” and more.Gunhild Carling is the epitome of joy in everything she does as a dazzling singer, dancer, and multi-instrumental genius. This International Jazz star plays several instruments such as trombone, trumpet, recorder, bagpipe, harmonica, drums and piano, and has toured extensively around the world with her Swedish Family and other All Star Bands. She was featured in several of Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox's adaptations of pop songs, which include a jazz swing version of Rick Astley's "Never Going to Give You Up", a 1920s jazz swing version of "Material Girl", a vintage jazz version of Europe's "The Final Countdown", a jazz cover of Pharrell Williams' "Happy", and a 1920s hot jazz cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen".
