ALBUM

Vol. 2 : Armstrong the Composer. These recordings range from a take of "Old Man Mose" recorded in 1935 to a version of "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train" recorded with Sy Oliver's Orchestra in 1957, and the focus, as the subtitle indicates, is on Armstrong as songwriter, so you get such standards as "Potato Head Blues" and "Struttin' With Some Barbecue," albeit not in their original recordings. This is a 1990 CD compilation.
