Dr. John's album, 'Ske-Dat-De-Dat The Spirit of Satch', pays heartfelt tribute to another larger-than-life New Orleans legend: the seminal trumpeter and vocalist Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong, whose musical innovations created the template for 20th-century jazz, and whose playful attitude and life-embracing spirit made him a beloved figure whose worldwide appeal transcended music. The album honours Armstrong's musical genius as well as his effervescent personality with 13 classic numbers drawn from various phases of Armstrong's five-decade career, with Dr. John joined by a stellar supporting cast that manages to update the material while maintaining the music's timeless emotional appeal. In addition to Dr. John's trademark vocals and piano, and backup from some of New Orleans' finest musicians, 'Ske-Dat-De-Dat The Spirit of Satch' features a stellar assortment of guest singers and players. Bonnie Raitt shares the spotlight on a swinging reading of 'I've Got the World On A String,' Ledisi and the McCrary Sisters lend gospel authority to 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen,' Anthony Hamilton is featured on a mournful 'Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child,' Shemekia Copeland trades verses with Dr. John on a playful reworking on 'Sweet Hunk O' Trash,' and the Blind Boys of Alabama lend their powerful voices to 'What A Wonderful World' and 'Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams.'
