[Dixielandjazz] re new bk on Louis Armstrong

[Bruce Stangeland]

Colin,

I read the book last Spring, and enjoyed it. I gave my copy to a more 
experienced musician, who said it was a good book but didn't contain 
much that was new to him.

I got mine from Amazon.com
Today's (9/15/07) offerings at Amazon include:

*Louis Armstrong's New Orleans* by Thomas Brothers (Hardcover - Mar 20, 
2006)
Buy new: $26.95 $20.48    64 Used & new from $7.15         --> Link to

Happy reading,

Hi to you all,

For all you knowledgeable people on Louis Armstrong.

Has anyone read this bk, ' Louis Armstrong' New Orleans'' by Thomas 
Brothers.

USA NY & UK  W.W. Norton & Company

W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. 500 Fifth Avenue, N.Y. 10110

W.W.Norton & Company, Ltd. Castle House, 75/76 Wells Street,  London W1T 3QT

If it is available in New Zealand Public Libraries, this latter part of 
the yr, then I assumed it has been released world-wide earlier this yr.

Haven't really started it. Hope it is a good read & I learn something 
more about Louis Armstrong and  New Orleans.

Not expecting a reply from all you knowledgeable ones on the List.
