captainwrong Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) Just saw this come across eMusic (sans booklet) and iTunes (with booklet, but more expensive.) I guess this is a Jazz Heritage Society exclusive? Looks interesting though. I really dug the home tapes I heard at the Armstrong home in Queens. Anyone have this one? The samples sound pretty hot on the Fleischmann's side. eMusic link with samples. Edited August 22, 2008 by Captain Wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted O'Reilly Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I tried to order it, and they won't ship outside the United States of America. (Not even if you send in your Fleischmann's boxtops!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Who's the "they"? The Jazz Heritage Society? Do they have many exclusives? On iTunes it says it's from MusicMasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Here's where mine came from (just received it today as a late Birthday present!) http://www.jazzstore.com/stash/louis-armstrong/index.php My friend, you will like this. The broadcast recordings are very exciting. The home tapes are fascinating. Edited August 24, 2008 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricko Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I wrote a small dissertation about the Fleischmann's set on my Armstrong blog: http://dippermouth.blogspot.com/2008/07/hi...broadcasts.html Don't pay attention to the end, where I lament the fact that the set was so difficult to find. It took some time, but Michael Cogswell finally convinced the Jazz Heritage Society to let it out of their tight grips and actually offer it to members of the general public. I believe the Jazz Store website is the only non-JHS website offering the package, which is worth the price for Dan Morgenstern's typically authoritative notes (though he makes two small errors I correct in my blog). This is historic stuff, my friends, going a long way towards removing the Luis Russell band from the critical purgatory they've been stuck in regarding their work with Armstrong for over 70 years.

Really enjoyable music. I wish there was a way to get the liner notes from eMusic, but what it cost me there vs. ordering the physical CDs softened that blow a lot.

Ricko Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Nice, Rob, glad you're enjoying the discs. I've listened to the broadcasts approximately 764 times since I received a copy in May and I keep hearing new things to marvel at. "Prelude to a Stomp" is a bitch! Thanks for the comment, too...

John L Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) I just had a chance to hear this recording. Pretty astonishing! It certainly raises serious questions about the commonly held view that Armstrong dumbed down his sound in the latter 30s. He and the band perform here with a loose abandon and level of energy that matches, and maybe even exceeds, Pops' recordings with larger bands from the late 20s and early 30s. Although Armstrong made some fine recordings for Decca during this time, these broadcasts can't help but make you think of lost opportunities. I downloaded it from emusic, and wonder if there is a precise discographical reference for who is playing in this particular Luis Russell orchestra. I assume that it is similar to the personnel that recorded for Decca at this time, but would like to know for sure.

Jeff Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks for the link Jazzbo..I was able to order a copy through them. I also found a source for Vol 10 of the Armstrong Cotton Club CD..The Cotton Club 1939-43. You can order a copy through the whole saler Ricko mentioned in his informative post on the Armstrong Ambassador CDs. The only issue is that they accept cash or a bank transfer only. Eh, why not? The remainder of the Ambassador sets are easily found on Amazon.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I was totally unaware of this release until a few hours ago, when I found it in a used CD store. This is major! I'm really excited by this one - it's nice to come across some new Satchmo material that's not just another All-Stars show with the usual playlist.

brownie Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Those broadcasts have been includeed in the Intégrale Louis Armstrong series from Frémeaux & Associés Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Finally found a popularly priced copy of this on Amazon over the weekend. Never understood why it was so expensive or difficult to get when originally issued. I was totally unaware of this release until a few hours ago, when I found it in a used CD store. This is major!

And the album has an absolutely priceless track of latter-day Armstrong playing trumpet along with his 1923 recording of "Tears" w/Oliver.
