Louis Armstrong rare recording released

 A rare recording of one of the last live performances by jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong has been made public, the BBC report said.

The star played at the National Press Club in Washington DC, against the advice of his doctors, in January 1971, just over five months before he died.

The What A Wonderful World singer had been in ill health because of heart and kidney trouble, but felt strong enough to play five songs at the event.
