 ReviewIn 2007, Concord and the Monterey Jazz Festival joined forces to
celebrate the fiftieth edition of the long running festival by launching a
special project, issuing selected performances from the vast Monterey Jazz
Festival recorded archives held by the Braun Music Library of Stanford
University. This CD comes from the opening night set by Louis Armstrong & His
All-Stars at the very first Monterey Jazz Festival in 1958. Armstrong had
developed a fairly set routine by this point in his career, playing and singing
a mix of classic jazz, swing, songs from movies and pop. Joining him are
trombonist Trummy Young, clarinetist Peanuts Hucko, pianist Billy Kyle, bassist
Mort Hebert and drummer Danny Barcelona, with vocalist Velma Middleton added for
three songs at the end of the show. Armstrong has the audience in the palm of
his hand throughout the concert, whether playing, singing or doing a bit of
comedy. Hucko and the vastly underrated Billy Kyle also solo with gusto, though
Youngs blustery playing in Undecided comes off a bit ham-handed. The source
material survived the years surprisingly well, with few audio flaws, aside from
musicians occasionally moving away from the microphones and excessively loud
drums at times. This is a promising start to what will hopefully become a long
running CD series that is sure to be treasured by jazz aficionados.
