[Dixielandjazz] Louis

[Hal Vickery]

I never did get around to buying those, but I remember seeing them in Decca
record liners from the period.  I think the original title of the LPs was
something like "Satchmo:  A Musical Autobiography."  I've heard parts of it
on the radio, and what you're describing sounds just like it.

Rae Ann - This is just a suggestion but I think the CD's you are referring
to may be the set that Louis did in the mid 50's where he recorded a little
spoken intro to each number followed with a newly recorded version of each
number.  I have the 3 CD set on Jazz Unlimited JUCD 2003, 2004 and 2005.
The Title is "Louis Armstrong, The New and Revised Musical Autobiography,
Vols 1, 2 and 3.  The notes say that these sides were recorded by Milt
Gabler for original release on 4 Decca LP's.
   
  I would recommend these excellent, very interesting Cd's to you.
Hopefully, they are what you are looking for.  Perhaps some more
knowledgable than I can confirm this or offer other suggestions.

  Listers:
I've been listening to the LOC Jelly Roll Morton CD's and that put me to
wondering if there are similar tapes of Louis Armstrong...
When I was at the Costa Mesa festival in 2001 Louis' birthday was
celebrated. The Nightblooming Jazzmen did two sets which included tapes of
Louis talking, followed by his band playing, which then segued into the
Night Bloomers playing.
How does one find those tapes to purchase?
I've been searching, to no avail, on Google.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
