• The complete recorded output, on a 3CD Deluxe Boxed Edition, by Louis Armstrong and The Dukes Of Dixieland. This collection contains both the master takes and all the alternate takes. Half of this music appeared on CD for the first time ever, when this reissue was previously released on Essential Jazz Classics (EJC55404).

• These original LPs “The Definitive Album by Louis Armstrong” (1959) and “Louis and the Dukes of Dixieland” (1960) were among the first stereo recordings to fully capture Louis’ magic sound. His trumpet playing & vocals were as fine as ever - on classic songs that weren’t part of his usual repertoire, such as “Dixie”, “New Orleans” and “Sweet Georgia Brown”, which he had never previously recorded.

• Formed in the late forties, the Dukes of Dixieland were one of the best among the many groups of “Dixie” revival groups of the fifties - featuring Frank Assunto (tp, vcl), Fred Assunto & “Papa” Jac Assunto (banjo), Jerry Fuller (cl), Stanley Mendelsohn (p), Lowell Miller (tuba) & Red Hawley (d).

• 45 Tracks - Total Time : 174.44 - includes excellent 16-page booklet with full information.
