*****I once played some Hot 5, for a friend who knew little about Armstrong, and after about 5 seconds he said ," Oh Cartoon music". I still laugh over that.*****
On disc three, the critic Gary Giddins relates a story where he played a record of Louis playing 'West End Blues' for a music professor friend of his. He listen to it, then asked Giddins to play it again, he did. Then the Music professor said "that is the most perfect three minutes of music I have ever heard". Notice, he said perfect MUSIC, not JAZZ. Interesting.
Cheers
