Tracks list

One of the key turning points of Louis Armstrongs career occurred at the Town
Hall concert fully documented on this two-CD set, a reissue of the earlier
two-LP release. Armstrong, who had been leading a big band for 18 years, was
showcased with some musical friends who were all very complementary players
(including trombonist Jack Teagarden, clarinetist Peanuts Hucko and cornetist
Bobby Hackett), and the results were so exciting that Armstrong soon broke up
his orchestra to form a similar all-star sextet.

The recording quality of some of the numbers from this concert is erratic but
the magic of the music definitely comes through. Highlights include a few tunes
on which Louis is backed by just a rhythm section (including Cornet Chop Suey
and an emotional Dear Old Southland), definitive versions of Aint Misbehavin and
Back OTown Blues and a memorable feature for Jack Teagarden on St. James
Infirmary. Recommended for all Louis Armstrong fans who wish to hear the real
birth of his All-Stars.
