p.s. "The Complete Recordings of the Hot Five and Hot Seven" remain my
favorite Armstrong recordings, and this is in print and readily available.

I am a new member of this group and have been a longtime devotee of
the music of Louis Armstrong. A friend recently led me to a
wonderful 9-CD series, now sadly either out of print or difficult to
acquire, published by Ambassador. A complete rundown of the series
can be found here: http://home.swipnet.se/classicjazz/ambass.htm

I have vols 1,4, and 8, but would love a copy of the other six in
the initial series as well as the others published by Ambassador.

Trust me, if you don't know this series, that these overlooked and
neglected performances will blow you away. There are some studio
records and some radio broadcasts. You'll hear a side of Louis that
is too often overlooked. And to listen to the various takes will
prove beyond question that this is the master improviser.

If anyone can either lead me to where I could purchase this series
or could either burn me copies or upload them to make them
available, I would be in your debt!
