- Summary
- "Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong was not only jazz's greatest musician and innovator but also the frontal figure in the development of contemporary popular music. Overcoming social and political obstacles, he established a long and impressive career with an enormous musical output, which is amassed and detailed in this discography-from professional commercial releases to amateur and unissued recordings." "All of Me: The Complete Discography of Louis Armstrong is a comprehensive, chronological discography born out of love and admiration for the music of Louis Armstrong and years of collecting his recordings. Jos Willems has meticulously compiled all of Satchmo's known recordings (both studio and live performances) and, with assistance from internationally renowned specialists, has assembled an unprecedented listing that includes song titles and individual indexes. Researchers, collectors, and enthusiasts can easily locate any detail of a recording: issues and releases of particular songs; publishing companies; producers; catalog numbers; dates, times, and locations of recordings; accompanying musicians; and format-78- or 45-rpm records, LPs, CDs, or media appearances. Every detail of Armstrong's career is listed in this impressive volume, shedding light on the enormity of his impact on jazz and popular culture. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
