This recording was not only Louis Armstrong's finest record of the 1950s but one
of the truly classic jazz sets. Armstrong and his All-Stars (trombonist Trummy
Young, clarinetist Barney Bigard, pianist Billy Kyle, bassist Arvell Shaw,
drummer Barrett Deems, and singer Velma Middleton) were clearly inspired by the
fresh repertoire, 11 songs written by W.C. Handy. Their nearly nine-minute
version of "St. Louis Blues" -- with witty vocals, roaring Young trombone, and a
couple of long majestic trumpet solos -- is arguably the greatest version of the
oft-recorded song. Other highlights include "Loveless Love," "Beale Street
Blues," and a romping version of "Ole Miss Blues." Essential music for all
serious jazz collections. [Some reissues also include rehearsal versions of
three songs, Louis Armstrong telling a joke, and a brief George Avakian
interview with W.C. Handy.]
