Our third episode featuring the remarkable music of Louis Armstrong covers the time when Louis Armstrong arrived in New York to play with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, and in the process, kicking off ‘the jazz era’.
This was a remarkably vital and diverse time for Louis, as he also found himself in demand to back up numerous vocal performers, making him perhaps the very first ‘famous’ studio session musician. His time in New York was relatively short, lasting approximately one year from 1924-25, but it was eventful, as shown by the following featured recordings;
1) Go ‘Long, Mule – Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra
2) Copenhagen – Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra
3) Shanghai Shuffle – Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra
4) Everybody Loves My Baby – Clarence Williams Blue Five
5) Everybody Loves My Baby – Fletcher Henderson & his Orchestra
6) See See Rider Blues – Ma Rainey
7) Baby, I Can’t Use You No More – Sippie Wallace
8) Anybody Here Want to Try My Cabbage – Maggie Jones
9) The World’s Gone Jazz Crazy – Trixie Smith
