Recorded live in 1956 and 1957 - on vinyl for the first time !

Pressed on 180 gram vinyl at Pallas in Germany.

Louis Armstrong and his All-Stars are captured in rare form during these live recordings from 1956 and 1957, which are finally making their vinyl debut with this 180 gram Pallas pressing. The album features a great collection of tunes which had become staples of Armstrong's live shows, including his perennial opener,
"Indiana"; the crowd favorite, "Tiger Rag"; the always joyful, "When The Saints Go Marching In"; and the great title-track, "Basin Street Blues".

Satch's frontline band at the time boasted the very distinctive sounds of trombonist Trummy Young and clarinetist Ed Hall. [Hide]
