Louis Armstrong: "Rockin' Chair" (NPR segment)

New Louis Armstrong, by Way of Preservation Hall
NPR's "Weekend Edition," February 14, 2010
Thanks to some nimble engineering, Louis Armstrong has a new song coming out, complete
with a whole new band. So what if he's been dead for nearly 40 years?
On "Preservation," the Preservation Hall Jazz Band backs up a number of singers,
including Andrew Bird, Tom Waits, Brandi Carlile and Pete Seeger. Armstrong recorded
"Rockin' Chair" a number of times, but he gets the Preservation Hall treatment courtesy
of Earl Scioneaux III, the engineer responsible for this trick of time.
