Got No Blues
Composed by Lil Hardin
Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five
Vocalion 3204 (reissue of original OKeh 8551)
December 9, 1927, Chicago, IL
Louis Armstrong - Cornet
Kid Ory - Trombone
Johnny Dodds - Clarinet
Lil Hardin Armstrong - Piano
Johnny St. Cyr - Banjo
At 17, Louis got his first regular job as a musician, playing cornet with a drummer and a pianist from 8 p.m. to dawn in a local honky-tonk. "Night I made my debut, I thought I was somebody," he said later. "I took my 15 cents home and I give it to my mother, and my sister woke up out of a sound sleep, say, 'Huh, blowing your brains out for 15 cents.' I wanted to kill her. Finally I got a raise to $1.25 a night -- top money, man." (from "Giants of Jazz: Louis Armstrong" by Chris Albertson)

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

@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.

Vocalion re-issue sound grea!t is it a master pressing?

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

I really like Armstrong. Excellent video my friend. In this time he was in Banda from King Oliver? Thanks

@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.
