The complete original two-volume album Louis Armstrong at the Crescendo (Decca DL 8168/69) plus all other existing material from that evening’s sets. The 1955 All Stars included well known figures such as trombonist Trummy Young clarinettist Barney Bigard and pianist Billy Kyle. As a bonus we have added various broadcast performances by the exact same formation of the All Stars captured live at the Basin Street Club in New York the previous year as well as three rarities: two film soundtrack songs taped in Copenhagen in 1959 and a 1956 commercial spot which presents Louis promoting a brand of beer.
