  • Early Pops is pure gold. Thanks for sharing!

  • Louis Armstrong is a musical god. Literally. He can sing, play cornet and if it weren't for him, rock wouldn't be nearly as good as it is today.

  • genius good on yer !!!

  • @rogerstill71 By that way of thinking, I guess Cutty Cutshall is inferior, too...

  • Kid Ory played a the Beverly Cavern in LA in the early 50s. I went there often to hear him. That was real Dixieland. I knew that this was his composition. Great memories!

    Also heard Jack Teagarden at a small club on Hollywood Blvd. about that time. Ditto for Joe Venuti, the jazz violinist.

  • @Urbino237 Ok, maybe I went a bit too far. Earl Hines was certainly Armstrong's peer. What I feel is that, after 1930, Armstrong set himself into bands like a pearl in an earring. He rationed his trumpet-playing (for very good health reasons) and made himself into a celebrity rather than a working jazz musician. At its best, the All-stars could be magnificent, but the rigid format and performance took away all spontenaity and a lot of creativity.

  • @Cerigan I don't know about this...surely you wouldn't include - as inferior musicians - Big Sid Catlett, Dick Cary, Jack Teagarden, Barney Bigard, Earl HInes, et al?

  • @bengreens yes I lost it not because He did not rip it off, but because of time restraints for filling 35 years too late

  • @Cerigan Inferiors? Jack Teagarden is INFERIOR? Since when?

  • This wonderful tune was written in 1926 by Kid Ory, the trombonist (and also one of the first great Louisiana band leaders), who is playing the trombone on this recording. Pure Gold! Thanks!

  • @djoutrage18 if the records are on the 'okeh' record label they can be worth an awful lot of money. I have seen these records to sell for hundreds of dollars each if they are in excellent condition,

  • Tres cool post...thanx
