"jazzaar concerts" 2009 presented a musical makeover of Louis Armstrong's 1958 work produced by Milt Gabler and arranged by Sy Oliver for Decca Records. This re-harmonized version is developed from transcriptions of the first recording - a combined effort by Fritz Renold, Bob Freedman, Dennis Montgomery III, Jetro Da Silva and Christian Jacob.

This was performed live after a week's process of learning on the bandstand by young Aargau musicians with world caliber professionals.
