Artist:
Louis Armstrong
Title:
Birth Of The All Stars



Details:
What makes this CD unique is that it is the first album to trace the development of what became the world's most successful touring jazz group fronted by one of jazz's creators who knew how to present the music to a wider public without diminishing its quality Louis Armstrong & His All Stars. Through newly-remastered rare recordings made at Carnegie Hall alternative tracks from the celebrated 1947 New York Town Hall concert and other venues as well as lost film & TV soundtracks we recapture all the unique power and vitality Satchmo projected at every performance which created an extra dimension to his fame leading to international success. The album's compiler Mike Pointon's detailed notes relate the full story of this often under-rated but epoch-making piece of jaz and magic can be felt in every searing chorus reminding us why even today he is the model for any aspiring jazzman. This unique CD features such celebrated luminaries of the All Stars as Jack Teagarden Trummy Young Edmond Hall Barney Bigard Peanuts Hucko Earl Hines Billy Kyle Arvell Shaw and Sid Catlett as well as such star contemporaries of Satchmo's as Lionel Hampton Benny Goodman Tommy Dorsey
