Rare but precious

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is indeed a rare Satchmo collection, with some classical and some really odd recordings, with Fletcher Henderson, Luis Russell, Clarence Williams and a host of other (often almost forgotten, sometimes quite forgettable) musicians... Just check out the list of links I attached to this product.
As opposed to the suggestion of the cover art, this is a CD of a young (but already brilliant) Armstrong, and the information in the "booklet" is ridiculously inappropriate for such a serious and precious collection. I guess these tracks are in a public domain now, but if you don't have a better overview of these aspects of Satchmo's carreer (and if the price is reasonable) you should still get it."
