This wonderful music with Louis Armstrong is being released here for the first time on CD. It was recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden, in 1933, 1949 & 1952. The three numbers recorded in Stockholm in 1933 are particularly rare and represent possibly the first live music concert recordings ever made. The music on this CD is classic Louis Armstrong, and is a must for all Louis fans and lovers of traditional jazz. This CD is the first in a series of four CDs that covers many of the live/radio/TV recordings that Armstrong did during his tours in Scandinavia between 1933-52. 1933: LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS HOT HARLEM BAND Louis Armstrong (tp,vo), Charles S.
