It seems that record labels will go to extremes to release new recordings by
jazz legends who arent around to contest them. The two-CD compilation The
Katanga Concert, released in 2000, combines a previously unreleased concert from
1960 by Louis Armstrong in Katanga, Africa, with 17 tracks that were previously
issued on one of two earlier Milan CDs, Blueberry Hill and What a Wonderful
World: The Elizabethtown Concert. While Armstrong is his usual charming self,
the recording quality of all three concerts ranges from barely acceptable to
abysmal, with the master tapes full of wow, having occasional dropouts, and not
being particularly well recorded in the first place. Almost all of the
selections appear in better fidelity on other releases. The track labeled I Cant
Give You Anything But Love is actually Wont You Come Home, Bill Bailey? Another
source of irritation is that there was room for all 23 of the tracks on this
compilation, yet six songs are omitted, seemingly at random. Of course, this
omission will be of little concern to anyone but the most obsessive collector of
Louis Armstrong, as nearly everyone else can safely bypass this collection.~Ken
