[Dixielandjazz] Skokiaan

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Guus, David and Craig,
I bought the Louis Armstrong Decca 78 disc when it was issued here in  
Australia in 1954 - and wore it out.
Particularly side 2.
This was one of Louis Armstrong's greatest playing periods.
Proving that he wasn't the has-been his critics claimed him to be.
Because of Guus's query, I've dug it out (again) to marvel at Louis.
(And the wonderful Omer Simeon soprano sax contribution, Barrett Deems  
on drums and Sy Oliver's arrangement.)
Playing it now.
Unfortunately, a currently available reissue version may be hard to  
come by.
It is on Louis' 'All-Time Greatest Hits' on MCA 11032, which I note is  
currently in stock at Venerable Music.
Kind regards,
Bill (with the hairs on the back of his neck standing up. Again).
