Satchmo At Symphony Hall recorded in 1947, features Louis Armstrong. This album on Decca DL 8037 was released in 1954 and although in VG- condition (kind of scratchy, but no skips) is a great jazz recording. I especially like Black and Blue, and Boff Boff.






Louis Armstrong plays W.C. Handy on Columbia CL 591, a 1954 release, this 60 year old recording is in suprisingly good condition, easily in VG condtion for vinyl and VG+ cover. William Handy is known as the father of the blues, and this album is a great testament to his music!
At 80 years old when this recording was made, Handy is quoted on the album cover "I never thought I'd hear my blues like this!  Truly wonderful! Truly wonderful! Nobody could have done it but my boy Louis!"

Another great Louis Armstrong release on Kapp label KL 1364 from 1964. Hello, Dolly! this is Louis Armstrong. Some real classics on this like Hello Dolly, A Kiss to Build a Dream On, Jeepers Creepers and my favorite Blueberry Hill. What a voice! Louis Satchmo (from Satchel Mouth) Armstrong.
