Description
Over the course of his long and illustrious career Louis Armstrong visited Scandinavia on no less than nine occasions to both tour and record. Amongst the wealth of fabulous recordings he produced on these visits are six tracks, recorded in Denmark and Sweden during the 1930s, that are said to be the world’s first live jazz recordings. These and many other recordings, some previously unreleased, have been meticulously restored for this 4CD Armstrong collector’s set. Each CD includes over 70 minutes of music and is accompanied by a booklet featuring many unique photographs and comprehensive liner notes from renowned Armstrong authority Gösta Hägglöff.
