They say a good jazz recording needs to be played many many times before it very reluctantly reveals the treasures within.
I have owned this music for a zillion years at least, and I still dig it out from the shelf, because I know it never fails to produce
not only something new, but also equally importantly, it swings like the 'clappers' !

Yesterday was Louis Armstrong's birthday, 4th August. In The 1920's he recorded a cadenza on 'West End Blues' that put the jazz world on alert that this music had become an art form and had to be taken seriously. Thanks Louis!!
