Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five - The Chronological Classics: Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five 1925-1926 (1926)

"Heebie Jeebies" by Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five


King Oliver and Kid Ory's New Orleans Jazz band recruited the best musicians in town.  One of those recruits was cornetist Louis Armstrong.  When King Oliver went North to Chicago, Louis followed.  After several years of honing his craft and moving around, Louis Armstrong formed his Hot Five (that included Kid Ory on trombone and Lil Hardin Armstrong on piano) and held his first recording sessions as a band leader.  As usual, The Chronological Classics: Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five 1925-1926 collects these earliest recordings.

Here is the discography surrounding Louis Armstrong's debut recordings:
