Description: New and sealed 2009 release of The Complete Louis Armstrong Decca Sessions (1935-1946) 3 CD set, limited edition, from Mosaic Records is up for sale. This hard-to-find set contains Louis Armstrong released by Decca at that time, a real piece of jazz music history and just an incredible collection. The outer box is not available with this set and there are a few cracks in the jewel cases as shown in pictures. Disc 1- II case has a small crack on front right, disc III - IV case has a small crack on the reverse upper right, disc V-VI case is clean and disc VII case has a small crack on the lower front right and middle of reverse side. The following is more info on this CD collection set found online: The big band performances feature Louis' inimitable approach to many melodies that were soon to become well-known; small-group sessions with Bunny Berigan as a sideman; a 1936 date with Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra; the rare 12" medley of hits from "Pennies From Heaven" with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Bing Crosby and Frances Langford; the "Elder Eatmore" sermon session; a reunion with Sidney Bechet and Zutty Singleton; and a slew of great sidemen like Sid Catlett, Dexter Gordon, J.C. Higginbotham, Red Allen and many more. Some of the performances are among the most significant of his life and a lasting gift to music - there isn't a trumpeter since who hasn't marveled at the brilliance of his tone, coherence of his soloing, and perfection of his execution on the 1938 "Struttin' With Some Barbecue." It is, plain and simple, a flawless record.For this release, we went back to the original sources - Decca's metal parts and lacquer discs - and lovingly restored and remastered everything to Mosaic's exacting standards. Our seven-CD set delivers 166 tracks, including rare alternate sides. The collection includes our exclusive booklet with a number of rarely-seen session photographs; an essay by noted jazz historian Dan Morgenstern; a complete and a corrected discography of the sessions clearing up a number of published errors.
