Review by arwulf arwulf
Verve's 2008 reissue of New Orleans Nights, a Louis Armstrong
album originally released on Decca in 1957, is a compilation of
recordings made in 1950 and 1954 by two different bands operating
under the noble mantle of Louis Armstrong and the All Stars.
"Panama," "New Orleans Function," "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It,"
and "Bugle Call Rag" testify to the integrity of the earlier
group, with Armstrong leading Jack Teagarden, Barney Bigard, Earl
Hines, Arvell Shaw, and Cozy Cole, who is granted extra long drum
breaks during the "Bugle Call Rag." On "Struttin' with Some
Barbecue" and "Basin Street Blues," Tea is replaced by Trummy
Young, Hines by Billy Kyle, and Cole by Kenny John. Tenor
saxophonist Bud Freeman sat in on "Basin Street"; it's a pity that
he didn't participate on "Barbecue," as the warmth and ease that
characterizes this elegant update of Lil Hardin Armstrong's magnum
opus would have fit Freeman's personality like a favorite pair of
argyles.
