Louis Armstrong and The All-Stars (1946 - 1956)
There is a critical perception that Louis Armstrong somehow abandoned his
small-band roots when he moved away from the Hot 5 and 7 recordings of the 20's
and recorded with the larger bands of the 30's. In reality, though, he had been
playing with large units almost exclusively before and since his seminal
records on OKeh. With the exception of a small number of hours recording
those songs, he had spent the rest of the previous quarter century
playing big band music.
In 1947, however, dogged by this undeserved collar and hounded by rising
expenses for his touring band, he submitted to managerial pressure to unleash a
small combo for a show at Town Hall in New York City; the concert was a howling
success, leading the way for Louis to tour with the now-streamlined band he
called his "All-Stars." With sporadic changes in personnel, this
arrangement suited him for the rest of his performing career. In the studio,
the All-Stars recorded scores of tunes, often re-recording the Hot classics
from 25 years earlier, and re-rerecording them again when they changed
labels.
Louis also frequently fronted elaborate orchestras with white-bread
choruses, doing his best with the increasingly tepid pop material his manager
provided him. Sometimes he was paired with other singers -- Ella Fitzgerald,
Bing and Gary Crosby, and Louis Jordan -- to produce pleasant but forgettable
platters. And occasionally, he could still mold a song -- "Mack the
Knife" and "A Kiss to Build a Dream On", to name a few -- into
an incomparable classic.
Professionally, it was a period of mushrooming excitement for Pops, who was
now frequently releasing records and appearing on radio and in movies. In
retrospect, however, it was a period of musical unfulfillment. Armstrong's
manager, Joe Glaser, though a master at setting up successful concerts and
tours, lacked the vision to showcase his number one artist in the light he
deserved. Fortunately, others would soon give Louis Armstrong the latitude to
lay down his most timeless tracks.
Although Armstrong retained a loyal following to the end of his days that
was appreciative of his contribution to the world of music, his place at the
vanguard of the music called "jazz" was taken by a new generation of
virtuoso performers playing a new music: bop. But the true musical heirs of
Louis Armstrong were not really the boppers. The jazz of Louis Armstrong's
music was accessible, functional music that represented freedom for both the
listener and the hearer. The jazz of Louis Armstrong was created by charismatic
performers playing in an individual, idiosyncratic, rhythmically energetic
style and peppering lyrics with nonsense syllables. The jazz of Louis Armstrong
came from not from the conservatory but from the whorehouse, not from the
aristocracy but from the southern proletariat. The jazz of Louis Armstrong was
derided by the establishment as noise and its sexual energy was feared by the
self-righteous. Although Armstrong could never have realized it, his true
musical heirs didn't play something called "jazz", they played
something called "Rock and Roll".

Neil Hefti, honored as a trumpet player on the second track in this starfest,
went on to be a key arranger for Count Basie and, in the 1960's,
made a fortune when he composed the theme song for theBatman
television series.

What started as an vehicle to tell something like the story of
jazz's origins in New Orleans got slowly watered down into a tepid
love story - with Billie Holiday as a maid. However, what's
left is a priceless opportunity to see Billie Holiday and
Louis together.

The concert that turned the tide for Louis in his postwar career.
The second half was his usual big-band line-up, but the first half
boasted a slim 6-piece aggregation that harkened the demise of the
Orchestra and the emergence of the All-Stars. Although it's nice to have
a record of the event, the existing recording is of fairly poor
quality.

The second (big band) half of the concert. Great, frantic
late-40's sounding charts, although Armstrong's playing is
far from bop - and thankfully so. Billie Holiday makes a
guest appearance on a single chorus of "Do You Know
What It Means To Miss New Orleans" (a song
she introduced), but Armstrong does not play on the track.

An important concert that established the Armstrong band for the rest
of his life. Promoter Ernie Anderson recorded the concert but a number
of the acetates were not of optimal quality and only six of the songs
were initially released. The remainder were released in 1983 by RCA France.

It didn't take long to nudge the newly formed All Stars
into the studio for their first recording session.
The four sides they produced become signature tunes for
the group, though this rushed rendition of ROCKIN' CHAIR
falls severely short of any of their live versions.

Willems lists this date as October 24, although Sergio Portaleoni sent me a
note that these performances were recorded on October 27 and are issued on
Musica Jazz MJCD 1087. Willems lists an October 27 radio broadcast from Rome,
which would be consistent with Armstrongs filming schedule on Botta E
Risposta in Rome on that same day. Westerberg's book lists a private
recording of a Trieste show on November 9, but it would seem odd that after
touring Italy in October, he would go to France for a date on November 8, then
return to Italy for a performance on November 9.
Håkan Forsberg
sent me a listing of the tour itinerary which indicates that
the October 24 date from Willems
makes the most sense.

Although Sergio Portaleoni sent me a note
that there are issued recordings from October 27 in Triste, the track list he
provided is more consistent with the October 24 date in Triste listed by
Willems. Willems documents his data on this October 27 session with an October
28 inscription on RAI acetates held by the Louis Armstrong House and Archives.
Willems assumes that the acetate inscriptions are a day off, since Armstrong was filming
Botta e Risposta on October 28 in Rome.

With the advent of the long-playing record, Louis has a
first-time opportunity to record full-length tracks of
many of the old favorites, much longer than the three or
four minutes traditionally allotted for a "single".
This marathon session produced a number of singles --
generally with the song edited to fill two sides --
and two LPs, "New Orleans Days" and "Jazz Concert".

Jos Willems refers to this as a "phantom recording", and

The All Stars return to the studio, almost precisely one year

to Decca than Louis Armstrong as a "solo" artist,
one of these tracks (KISS TO BUILD A DREAM ON) remains unreleased
until Mosaic's 1993 box set.

and named after a bad part of Bourbon Street. Armstrong is Shadow
Johnson, a philosophizing guide that gets to sing and play a few songs.
Teagarden had already left the All Stars but rejoined Armstrong for the film.

Willems indicates that this recording is from
either an October 25 concert at Teatro Metastasio in
Prato (about six miles northwest of Firenze, aka Florence)
or an October 30 concert at Teatro Odeon in Firenze.
Confusing matters is his mention of another recording
of a concert presumably made around the same time in Italy
with a significantly different set-list.
However, a pair of Italian writers pointed out to me that a
CD of this broadcast issued by RAI indicates that
it was recorded in Firenze in the radio station's
auditorium. Archives of a press photographer show
the band performing on October 25 in Prato. So,
presumably, the band performed this broadcast in
Firenze, then took a short drive up to Prato for a
concert later in the day which may or may not
have also been recorded.

The first of three very productive days in the studio
laying down tracks for the first set of recordings that
Armstrong recorded specifically for an album:
Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy.
There are two CD versions of theW.C. Handyalbum.
The first (CK 40242), released in 1986, resulted from
a fruitless search for the original session masters;
alternate takes were used on six tracks, and the best
possible transfers were made from vinyl for the others.
When the second (CK 64925) was produced ten years later,
a pristine copy of the first LP pressing was digitally
mastered, and second generation tapes -- edited in the
1950's for EP issues -- were spliced in when available.
The second release is the more definitive of the two.
Trummy Young was able to record his own co-composition
"'Taint What You Do" at the end of the sessions,
and it has seen release on a Columbia album and a European
single, although it has yet to make its way to CD.

First session for the Satch Plays Fats tribute album.
A virtual repeat of the Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy story,
this album's first CD release in 1986 was comprised mostly of
alternate takes due to the disappearance of the original master tapes.
Happily, though, by 2000 the tapes were rediscovered, resulting in a
sensational reissue that included four more alternate edits as bonus
tracks -- not to mention seven OKeh recordings of Louis' Waller covers.
The final track would seem likely to come from the April 26 session,
but its genesis is unverified.

all available on Sony Classical CD). Take 7 is available on vinyl
only, along with the rejected take of "Back O' Town Blues".
Additional edits of "Mack" are found here and there.

"Ambassador Satch", ostensibly a live album,
was a mixed bag of genuine concert tapes and studio
material overdubbed with audience applause to simulate
a live performance. Any release (or re-release) of an
Armstrong CD is a welcome event; but, this one has to
rate low on the list of crucial discs.

"All of Me", "Twelfth Street Rag",
"Royal Garden Blues", and "Muskrat Ramble"
were all recorded for inclusion on the "Ambassador Satch"
album. Audience reaction was overdubbed to give them a live feel --
especially obvious during "All of Me",
where the canned laughter renders the effect ludicrous.
"Dardanella", "Undecided" and "Tin Roof Blues" are included
on the CD re-release, although I'm not sure exactly when they
were recorded.

Back into an RCA studio, recording two songs for an NBC-TV
special that featured Kaye Starr, Robert Stack, Dick Haymes
and Buster Keaton, as well as our Louis.
Alexander Kogan, Jr. of Showcase Productions sent me this
informative letter:
It is amazing to me that not a single Satchmo biographer or
scholar ever found us. Take a look at www.showcaseproductions.com, and
look at "THE LORD DON'T PLAY FAVORITES" which aired, live, as part of the
Producers' Showcase series on NBC in September 1957. We have much of the
original production documents, including a really poignant letter from
Satchmo's agent, asking Saul Jaffe if the real reason for the dealy in
getting the production on the air, was that Louis was a person of color;
Saul assured him that wasn't the problem, and the program went on the air
with Louis.
Another interesting sidelight: We have the original NBC program cards for
the series; I was puzzled as to why there was a large "X" next to the names
of several performers, until I figured out that "X" meant Black -- Louis
Armstrong, Velma Middleton, etc. The practice evidently stopped in 1956.
