This album is made of six numbers from the famous
Town Hall concert of 1947, plus offerings from
four others, which if not perhaps quite so famous
are nevertheless all more than worthy of your
attention. Armstrong's playing in these days was
something to marvel at, and his presence a
vitalising effect upon any musicians who teamed up
with him. Teagarden never played or sung better
than he did here ('St. James Infirmary' to note),
but nor for that matter did Bigard. Vic Dickenson,
Johnny Hodges, or any of the other musicians who
haunt these tracks. The standard throughout is
very high, but no one, however well they play, can
approach the brilliance of Louis as he soars into
his first chorus on 'Misbehavin'' with the
control and majesty of a seagull on the wing.
Teagarden plays well enough on this track, but
sandwiched between Louis' solo and a fantastic
lead-in to his final chorus, he sounds almost dull
by comparison. Save it, 'Pretty Mama' is another
tour de force, with Louis playing a solo that is
supreme for tightness, and relaxation. The two
tracks with Duke are full of interest. Hodges
blows beautifully. Duke plays some pleasant piano
on 'Journey', and Pops comes on with a blues vocal
which is quite inimitable. 'Snafu', a boppish
kind of tune, doesn't suit Louis quite so well,
but as usual he can dig his way out of any
situation with his horn. 'Little Girl' and
'Mahogany Hall' feature a much more basic beat and
Louis plays in a style much nearer New Orleans
than was usual in these days. Ory takes a splendid
chorus on the second named tune, and the work of
both drummers is exceptional.
But everything is good and Armstrong's work so
consistently brilliant and vastly entertaining,
that it is a set you must not miss on any account.
