A fantastic live Satchmo show, recorded during his '50s prime at the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium on March 26, 1956, released now for the first time ever! Louis and the All Stars play Sleepy Time down South; Ole Miss; Perdido; How High the Moon; Mack the Knife; That's My Desire; When the Saints Go Marching In, and eight more!
Armstrong with his best All Star Band - these live-recordings are good but not his best with the mid 1950's All Stars, with Velma Middleton doing quite a few songs, something that I am not too fond of unless one can see her perform, she's rather uneventful. The sound is good. Unless you're a true fan of this Band and simply want to have all the songs with the different solos each musician plays on re-occurring songs during the course of live recordings throughout the years I suggest getting "Ambassador Satch" and "Satchmo the Great" and instead of this one I suggest Louis Armstrong "The Great Chicago Concert (1956)", which has many of the songs featured on this one and more, including more famous tunes Like Basin Street Blues, Tiger Rag etc. If there was an option I'd give it 3.5 stars.J.S.
