Satchmo and his
all-stars recorder 10 tracks in these sessions, which were among the best ones
in Armstrong’s career. There’s a nice take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein
ballad and a groovy jam on the flipside.
This one is in a boxed set
of four singles. The other three will be posted a tad later.
List price: Very Good+ is $6, Near Mint is $12
