Charly Records presents SATCHMO PLAYS KING OLIVER LOUIS

Armstrong

One of the most important events in the history of jazz took place on a hot July afternoon in 1922. A 22-year-old Louis Armstrong was playing in a parade with the Tuxedo Brass Band in his native New Orleans when he received a telegram from the man who had been his mentor a few years earlier - Joe Oliver, the brilliant cornetist whose place in the jazz world of that day was implicit in the billing he always received: “King Oliver”.

The telegram asked young Louis to join Oliver’s celebrated Creole Jazz Band in Chicago, a band which was accepted as the best jazz band in existence. This record is Louis’ tribute to the man whose invitation to join his band and first put him in the spotlight.

The album features Louis Armstrong And The All Stars: Louis Armstrong, trumpet; Peanuts Hucko, clarinet; Trummy Young, trombone; Billy Kyle, piano; Mort Herbert, bass; Danny Barcelona, drums and was recorded at Radio Recorders Studio in Hollywood, California over three days at the end of September and beginning of October 1959.

Newly mastered from restored Audio Fidelity tapes and cut at the studio established by Sir George Martin - Air Studio - the LP sounds superb! The CD version contains recently discovered outtakes and alternate versions and tracks originally mixed to mono.

CHARLY RECORDS RELAUNCHES AUDIO FIDELITY!
