Description
Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five
Okeh 8535
‘Knee Drops’ / ‘Skip The Gutter’
Recorded in Chicago, June 27, 1928
The classics of hot jazz from the legendary Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five, this time with Earl ‘Fatha’ Hines on piano.
GRADE: V to V+
Solid playing laminated pressing. Scuffs, scratches, and some groove wear. May benefit from a scrubbing with soap and water (no alcohol!). Plays well on my setup and was my main copy for years. Your playback may vary. See photos and ask any questions ahead.
