Description: Impressive. One of this video watcher a "live book" about Armstrong. His message:
-------------------------------------
Hi David,
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I'm not on that video nor was I there. I'm a life-long Louis Armstrong nut so I know when he did everything. There are two books that I get my information about videos from, "All Of Me-The Complete Discography of Louis Armstrong" by Jos Willems & "Louis Armstrong On The Screen" by Dr. Klaus Stratemann. The Louis clip you posted is from the first of two BBC-TV shows. Each show was 45 minutes & they were taped on the same day, July 2, 1968. Aside from Louis the rest of the band is Tyree Glenn-trombone, Joe Muranyi-clarinet, Marty Napoleon-piano, Buddy Catlett-bass & Danny Barcelona-drums. Louis died three years later, on July 6, 1971. He was only on the road full time for another two months after this clip. By mid September of 1968 he was seriously ill in the hospital & was out of commisiion for most of 1969. I hope that's enough information for you.
Best wishes,
Phil
------------------------------
Phil, I am very been thankful by the information. Thank you so much.

 | Louis Armstrong and Johnny Cash - Blue Yodel No. 9
Tags: Armstrong, Blue, Cash, Jazz, Johnny, Louis, Nashville, No.9, Show, Yodel
Description: I would have never guessed, but Louis Armstrong was a guest on the Johnny Cash Show. This and the story about Satchmo and Jimmie Rogers show how diverse musical tastes these men had and once again that music is a great connector.
This is from episode 38, Oct., 28, 1970 and must be one of Satchmo's last performances. He was such a great performer right to the end and the Nashville audience and Johnny just loved him.
Louis Armstrong cracks everybody up at the start of the song: Let's give it to 'em in black and white.
THIS AND OTHER GREAT PERFORMANCES ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON A 2-DVD-SET "BEST OF THE JOHNNY CASH TV SHOW". HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE!!!

Description: Although I have already uploaded a lovely version by Johnny Hamp & His Kentucky Serenaders, by special request I am presently posting the 1929 rendition Armstrong recorded of this wonderful song. The outfit featured here is Louis Armstrong & His Savoy Ballroom Five. The 1929 version of this band was really the Luis Russell Orchestra with the addition of Eddie Condon and Lonnie Johnson. Armstrong would later front the Luis Russell Orchestra and it would become known as the Louis Armstrong Orchestra in 1934. The group was named after the Savoy Ballroom at South Parkway and East 47th Street in Chicago. As for Louis Armstrong, was among the greatest of all jazz musicians. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an innovative cornet and trumpet virtuoso and singer, Armstrong was a foundational influence on jazz. In 1922, Armstrong joined the exodus to Chicago, where he had been invited by his mentor, Joe "King" Oliver, to join his Creole Jazz Band and where he could make a sufficient income so that he no longer need to supplement his music with day labor jobs. As Armstrongs reputation grew, he made his first recordings on the Gennett and Okeh labels. Armstrong and Oliver parted amicably in 1924 and Armstrong received an invitation to go to New York City to play with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, the top AfricanAmerican band of the day. Armstrong quickly adapted to the more tightly controlled style of Henderson, playing trumpet and even experimenting with the trombone. During this time, Armstrong also made many recordings on the side, arranged by an old friend from New Orleans, pianist Clarence Williams; these included small jazz band sides with the Williams Blue Five and a series of accompaniments with Blues singers, including Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Alberta Hunter. Back in Chicago in 1925, he began recording under his own name for Okeh with his famous Hot Five and Hot Seven groups. Armstrong also played with Erskine Tates Little Symphony, actually a quintet, which played mostly at the Vendome Theatre. They furnished music for silent movies and live shows, including jazz versions of classical music, such as Madame Butterfly, which gave Armstrong experience with longer forms of music and with hosting before a large audience. He began to scat sing (improvised vocal jazz using non-sensical words) and was among the first to record it, on Heebie Jeebies in 1926. So popular was the recording the group became the most famous jazz band in America. Armstrong returned to New York, in 1929, where he played in the pit orchestra of the successful musical Hot Chocolate, an all-black revue written by Andy Razaf and pianist/composer Fats Waller. He also made a cameo appearance as a vocalist, regularly stealing the show with his rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'", his version of the song becoming his biggest selling record to date. Armstrong started to work at Connie's Inn in Harlem, the second nightspot in fame to the Cotton Club. Armstrong also had considerable success with vocal recordings, including versions of famous songs composed by his old friend Hoagy Carmichael. As with his trumpet playing, Armstrong's vocal innovations served as a foundation stone for the art of jazz vocal interpretation. The Depression of the early Thirties was especially hard on the jazz scene. Armstrong moved to Los Angeles in 1930 seeking new opportunities. He played at the New Cotton Club in LA. In 1931, Armstrong appeared in his first movie, Ex-Flame. During the 30s and early 40s he toured extensively, and continued a very successful career well into the late 1960s, in fact almost till his death in 1971. As for this extraordinary recording, it was made for Okeh on March 5th, 1929.
