Looked up Hot 5s and 7s by LA and found VOL 1 with 25 tracks on it. How many abums (and tracks) came under this heading?

hi teddy, i have the louis armstrong v.s.o.p. all 8 volumes which contains all armstrongs recordings from 1925-1931. there seems to be about 28 hot five, 11 hot seven and 20 savoy ballroom five. there also is some other small groups of various sizes, the rest are large groups from the late 20s. your request inspired me to get them out, and play a few. this is classic stuff and it is ages since a played them,thanks. gord
Thanks gord. It's going to take me a while to listen to the all

Hi guys'
In the history of jazz I doubt that anything was more important than the Louis hot 5s and 7s.
For an old timer like me it is great when the forum discusses this sort of music instead of bop.
Cheers John
Hi Gord,
I'll have to start reading the Man Guardian again if it includes such gems.
however that is not to say that I agree with all of the selections.
I honestly think that a number of contributors were involved because I dont think that a single jazz lover could possibly enjoy all of that range of music.
Cheers John
