alexischickeLouis Armstrong live at Basin Street 1955
Aus der Zeit habe ich ein gutes Konzert aus Barcelona.
Vom Dippermouth-Blog:
find the first official release of some of my favorite Armstrong broadcasts, taken from the New York nightclub Basin Street in May 1955. Live at Basin Street will be on the Mr. Music label and it should be a great find for All Stars fanatics. Thanks to the generosity of my European friends, I’ve had this material for years and have shared some of it on the blog in the past. I’m thrilled that it’s finally getting an official issue. It’s the Armstrong-Trummy Young-Barney Bigard-Billy Kyle-Arvell Shaw-Barrett Deems-Velma Middleton edition of the band, fresh of recording „Satch Plays Fats.“ Since Basin Street was an extended engagement, it allowed Armstrong to dip into his large repertoire bag for some things he didn’t play too often in this period, such as „You’re Just in Love“ and „S’posin“ with Velma. And even on the evergreens, there’s some different and inspired playing on tunes like „Muskrat Ramble“ and „Royal Garden Blues.“ Barney Bigard is so-so, continuing his bored playing from „Satch Plays Fats“ (he’d be out of the band by September) but everyone else is on fire. Don’t miss this release! (Again, I don’t have it so possibly they screwed up the sound or something, but on paper, it’s a can’t miss!)
Klingt toll! Ich warte derzeit auf die 2CD-Sets des Chicago-Konzertes und des Town Hall-Konzertes aus der RCA-Zeit.
