Description


ARTIST: Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra

LABEL:  Okeh 8729

TITLES:  
When You're Smiling / Some Of These Days (C)

CONDITION:   E- / E-V+
 
DESCRIPTION:     Rare non-vocal takes of these two chestnuts by Louis, recorded with vocals the same session and issued on Okeh 41298.  Louis' first solo chorus on "When You're Smiling" shows his genius at improvising sweet with an economy of notes - the "less is more" school and flip side of Louie's typical take no prisoners soloing.  Mostly glossy grooves with slight visible wear showing at end each side.  In neither case does this seem to impact the music.  A few small tears around center hole each label.

Over the next several weeks, I will be auctioning a consignment lot of rare pre-war blues 78s that includes many choice items in nice shape, so be sure to keep checking my listings regularly.  Also, if you have any higher end pre-war blues, country or jazz you might like to consign, please get in touch and I will let you know the service I can provide.
