Louis Armstrong recorded for RCA during two separate times. During 1932-1933, he led an erratic (and under-rehearsed) big band on a series of numbers, but all of the selections have their moments of interest. Although not up to the level of his Hot Five and Seven recordings of five years earlier, these spirited tracks find Armstrong mostly in excellent form both instrumentally and vocally, and the reissue has four alternate takes never released before. Highlights include the two-part "Hits Medley," "That's My Home," "I've Got the World on a String," "There's a Cabin in the Pines," "Hustlin' and Bustlin' for Baby," a unique 1930 collaboration with country singer Jimmie Rodgers, and the two bizarre versions of "Laughin' Louis."
The second half of the reissue features Armstrong during 1946-1947, including appearances with the Esquire poll winners (Louis takes a surprisingly modern solo on "Snafu"), the last titles by his big band, a few wonderful combo performances (including the classic "Jack-Armstrong Blues"), and the first songs by Armstrong's All-Stars (co-starring Jack Teagarden); this collection concludes with two unrelated 1956 orchestral tracks. Overall, this is wonderful music, although collectors who already have everything other than the alternates have a right to hesitate. Anything with with old satchmoe is great. With his unique voice and sound it's a must buy!

The songs are listed with the most widely successful first.
One would imagine that a 77 year career, from 1923-2000 would be enough for Louis Armstrong to hold the longevity record. Enrico Caruso holds the record, at 95 years, but only due to a freak minor album hit in Austria. Of course with more than 6 times as many hits Satchmo's career is much more impressive.

Partnered only by long-time pianist friend Larry Willis, Masekela entranced the Royal Festival Hall with music and yarns about his jazz life, and his life as a South African under apartheid. The crowd caught on to his joy, as a student exile in 1960s New York, at discovering a music that didn't need high-culture accreditation or pop-chart statistics to be self-evidently wonderful, at sensing that improvisation and composition were two sides of the same coin – and clearly feeling that being rammed into a Harlem club with Miles Davis or Duke Ellington within touching distance was like being at a pub gig with Mozart. London performance-poet and singer Zena Edwards opened the show with one of the 21 new pieces that have been commissioned to celebrate the festival's 21st birthday.
Hers was an affecting collage of personal inspirations, ranging from Caribbean music and hip-hop to the Celtic folk singing of June Tabor. Masekela and Willis then opened on Herbie Hancock's Canteloupe Island (with the 74-year-old's flugelhorn phrasing sounding luminous and nimble, even if he does like shaking a favourite bag of runs, trills and bright exclamations), followed up by exhortatory African vocals, a beautiful jazz remake of the Stylistics' You Make Me Feel Brand New, Masekela's 1968 chart hit Grazin' in the Grass, some heartfelt, witty and immensely musical Louis Armstrong-like vocalising on Old Rocking Chair's Got Me, and When It's Sleepy Time Down South as an encore. Later that night at Ronnie Scott's, in a show that was also broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, US organ trio Medeski, Martin & Wood rocked through their signature mix of dissonant blues and churning grooves. They were followed by the subtly battering double-drum pulse and Caribbean-inflected sax lines of new UK stars Sons of Kemet, and then by Norwegian virtuoso Arild Andersen, whose pensive folk-jazz double-bass themes and delicately flicked harmonics brought a hush to the club.
