Over the course of his long and illustrious career Louis Armstrong visited Scandinavia on no less than nine occasions to both tour and record. Amongst the wealth of fabulous recordings he produced on the visits are six tracks that are said to be the world’s first live jazz recordings, recorded in Denmark and Sweden during the 1930s. These and many other recordings, some previously unreleased, have been meticulously restored for this 4 CD Armstrong collectors' set. Each CD is over 70 minutes of music and is accompanied by a booklet including many unique photographs and comprehensive liner notes from renowned Armstrong authority, Gosta Hagglof.
