Since this is a Decca/Brunswick release it cannot be part of that "editing" controversy that involved George Avakian and Columbia Records in the mid-50s for certain Louis Armstrong recordings and caused quite a bit of indignation in jazz circles IIRC. But others may have been going that route too.

Is the "Dippermouth Blues" here an edit? It sounds as if Armstrong plays the same solo twice. His take on the classic King Oliver solo is hip, love it.

"Concert made possible by a donation from Ken and Nancy Dryden." Way to go!

A Five Star album for me!

I don't know this record. Who plays on it?

So I've been using this set-up for almost 4 years now and I have to say - this was one of the best decisions I ever made for playing my digital music library. I have been using this system to listen to my music more than any other playback option i.e. CDs & LPs, to the point that I am feeling like selling off the majority of them.

I have finished reading two thirds of Tisma’s trilogy novels about WW II and the Holocaust in Novi Sad, Serbia. Excellent but harrowing.

Why leave out his Vanguard LP (for example), while you're at it?

Currently binging Clarice Lispector. I am not sure where she has been as I only became aware of her writing recently. Perhaps there have been recent translations into English? Just wonderful.
