Quelle: SECONDDISC
In honor of what would have been Armstrong’s 110th birthday on August 4, Universal Music U.K. has scheduled a massive boxed celebration of Armstrong’s legacy for August 1.
Satchmo contains 10 CDs, a 200-page hardcover book and an assortment of sheet music reproductions, all housed in a replica of Armstrong’s travel trunk. Although we have not yet been able to confirm the track listing, it’s known that seven of the CDs will cover previously released Armstrong classics. An eighth disc will consist of previously unreleased and rare material, a ninth will present his 1956 concert at California’s Hollywood Bowl, and a tenth will feature a 1965 interview with Armstrong conducted by Dan Morgenstern. Veteran musician and producer Russ Titelman, who has worked with everyone from Eric Clapton to Brian Wilson, is remastering all of the selections on the set. Titelman promised that the box will be a complete overview of the trumpeter’s long and distinguished career, describing it as “the definitive version of the Amstrong legacy.” Should it be cross-licensing tracks from Armstrong’s many label affiliations in his nearly 50 years of recording, it will indeed be the most comprehensive collection of its kind.
