The album "1936-1940" by Lil Armstrong and her Swing Band is a delightful collection of swing and jazz music from the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lil Armstrong, the wife of jazz legend Louis Armstrong, was a talented pianist, vocalist, and bandleader in her own right, and this album showcases her skills as well as those of her talented band.
The album features a mix of original compositions by Armstrong, as well as classic jazz standards like "St. Louis Blues" and "After You've Gone." The band's tight arrangements and energetic performances make each track a joy to listen to, with Lil's piano playing and vocals shining particularly bright.
