Notes

This release presents, for the first time ever on a single CD, all existing music from the perennial Louis Armstrong LP celebrating the music of Fats Waller: Satch Plays Fats. The first nine tracks comprise the original LP release, followed by all known alternate and partially alternate tracks, many of which have been long unavailable. Among them is a rare version of ‘Honeysuckle Rose’ from the session, originally issued with dubbed applause on a compilation LP titled Columbia House Party. Louis is backed here by one of the best formations of his All Stars, with such outstanding musicians as Trummy Young, Barney Bigard and Billy Kyle. Essential Jazz Classics.
