LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS ORCHESTRA – 1934-1936 | The Classics Chronological Series – 509 (1990) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This valuable CD includes Armstrong's often riotous Paris session from 1934 ("St. Louis Blues" and "Tiger Rag" almost get out of control) and then Satch's first 17 Decca recordings, smooth renditions of pop tunes that he turns into classic jazz. It duplicates and exceeds Decca's Rhythm Saved the World. Scott Yanow
