Notes
For this release, American Jazz Classics put together all of the songs recorded by Satch during the sessions, as well as all known alternate takes (on CD TWO). To fill out the set, we present seven additional King Oliver or Oliver-related tunes taped by Louis during the mid-fifties, as well as, in the few cases in which he had previously recorded them, Armstrong’s original versions of tunes from the Audio Fidelity album, and his classic 1928 versions of King Oliver’s “Weather Bird” and “West End Blues”.
