Description
Classic 1924 recording of Clarence Williams' Blue Five, featuring a young Louis Armstrong in his PRIME, as well as a young Sindey Bechet, playing "I'm A Little Blackbird Looking For A Bluebird" and "Mandy Make Up Your Mind" on Okeh 40260. Recorded December 17, 1924. Vocal by Eva Taylor. These Clarence Williams records are among the best early Armstrong recordings, and feature some of his most powerful playing, in many people's opinion. This record is an all-time classic of 1920s jazz. Condition is visually VG-, with some scuffs and scratches, but it really plays like VG+, very bright and clear, with some noise, but not much. It has been my own copy for years and I have never really even noticed the VG- appearance until now. I always thought of it as a VG+ copy by the way it sounds.
