About

Comprehensive chronological survey and analysis of every recording on which Louis Armstrong played during the period 1923 to 1928. Armstrong's immense impact on the evolution of jazz is found primarily in these early recordings, and Brooks's close examination of this period is important, as much of this influence becomes obscured by later recordings. Glossary, bibliography, and title index.

Reviews

Sit down with your favorite early Armstrong recordings and follow along with Brooks's very detailed studies of every recording from this time period, and you may well think you've died and gone to heaven. Brooks has obviously devoted an enormous amount of time and energy to this project, and the fact that he's obviously a quite cultured gentleman makes the reading all the more rewarding
