> On Jim Cullum's broadcast about Lil, some excerpts are played from an LP, of her talking about her life, Louis, the music, etc. Which LP is this talking on?
Dear Mike,
I assume that it is:
"Satchmo And Me: Lil Armstong's Own Story: A Jazz Documentary"
'Lil Armstrong's own account of the fabulous Chicago jazz era of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver.'
Lil Armstrong (p,talking). Recorded in New York, c. 1958/59
Riverside RLP 12-120.
Side 1.
Learning the piano
Early life in Chicago
With the New Orleans Creole Jazz Band
King Oliver appears on the scene...with Louis
First recording date
Courtship
Side 2.
The young Louis
Marriage
First trumpet, at last
With Fletcher Henderson in New York
Return to New Orleans
The end of a marriage
Epilogue
Interesting stuff, but something you would listen to every day.
Although, I should take time and relisten to it.
It is not on CD, so far as I know.
There is only one track per side.
The subjects have not been separated with a scroll, so can't be selected.
Kind regards,
Bill.
