... At all really!

if you a little in the biographies of the incomparable Louis Armstrong or the unforgettable thomas w. Waller, who because of his - was let's say impressive appearance is not very flattering, "Fats" gennant Browsed, then one realizes that the success of would probably not have been possible without the other one.

anyway Armstrong was in the Broadway show "Hot Chocolate" (1929) primarily through "Is not Misbehavin" to star.

and here he devotes Fats Waller a great album with an excellent selection from the hundreds of stride piano pieces, which we owe to this man.

some songs he brings in a duet with Velma Middleton and it is quite conceivable that here the idea for the later duets with Ella Fitzgerald was born. In any case I have the duets equal to the equally indispensable ella & louis disc reminds ...

and he plays with his typical "Trumpet" some of the most expressive trumpet solos that I've ever heard of him, with a dynamism and playfulness that has to be called almost expressive.

the mittätigen musicians - yes, also the pianist (even though he fats can not replace what he does not even try), are at a similar level on the road, the funny thing is heard in every note.

it is a mono recording, but a very, very good. because there is enough "high-ended" stereo productions on which is less deep graduation to hear and on which there droning significantly weaker chest.

I have the great Columbia vinyl reissue (which must of course live on less songs) done and can conclusively say is long gone so relish listening to music.

I am sure that here like everyone who gets involved on it and you will be right at the front make this disc to "feel-good music".

if it were possible: 10 Stars!
