Description

Release Date:  2017

Label:  Dot Time

 

The tracks on this recording have never before been released and are derived from tapes from Louis Armstrong’s personal collection.   This description is from author Ricky Riccardi who is intimately familiar with Louis’ library of reel-to-reel tapes now housed at the Queen’s College Archive in New York (from the blog “The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong”):

‘On January 20, 1950, Louis, Jack Teagarden and Earl “Fatha” Hines joined Clancy Hayes and some local San Francisco musicians to tape material for The Standard School Broadcast, the oldest educational radio program in America. The episode was part of the show’s “Musical Map of America” series, with Armstrong and company brought in to provide the “Music of New Orleans.”  … after the recordings were done, the Standard Oil people sent acetates of the complete, unedited Armstrong performances–including some rehearsals–to Armstrong’s home. Armstrong dubbed them to tape in December 1950, shortly after receiving his first reel-to-reel tape recorder–but that was it. They sat in the den of his Corona, Queens home for several decades until they were brought to Queens College in 1991 and they’ve sat there–until now!’
