@TheSpoothead1 He used them to wipe the perspiration from his brow and lips. He also wiped his trumpet and mouthpiece since the brass could tarnish from the sweat. The handkerchief became his trademark, a type of prop, and he always had an abundant supply whenever he performed.
@fredjmp Armstrong left King Oliver in 1923, then he joined Fletcher Henderson in September 1924. His first recordings with the "Hot Five" began in November 1925.

Why did he sometimes use a white cloth in his left hand? Great video, one of my favorites.

@phredl I believe it's a master pressing since the matrix number is stamped in the run-out (82038)
