Notes
After parting from King Oliver, Armstrong embarked on an intensive series of recordings with the Hot Five and then with the Hot Seven. He stunned the musical world with unprecedented recorded displays of virtuosity and emotion remastered here to near perfect quality the extent of Armstrong’s gifts can be judged for the first time in ninety years. The notes are informative and expert. Small wonder that the New York Times dubbed this compilation “The Recording of the Millenium.”.
