As
Louis Armstrong traversed the globe, bringing jazz to every corner of it, live recordings became the norm. This reissue brings together 1955 concert recordings with
the All-Stars from Milan and Amsterdam, buffeted with three previously unreleased bonus studio tracks recorded in New York and Hollywood. Both
Satchmo and
the All-Stars are in top-notch form here, playing with a real spirit of abandon. Another real good one to add to the collection.
