The complete recorded output, on a 3CD Deluxe Boxed Edition, by Louis Armstrong and The Dukes Of Dixieland - for the first time ever in a single collection. This collection contains both the master takes and all the alternates. Half of this music appears here on CD for the first time ever. These original LPs "The Definitive Album by Louis Armstrong" (1959) and "Louis and the Dukes of Dixieland" (1960) were among the first stereo recordings to fully capture Louis' magic sound. His trumpet playing & vocals were as fine as ever - on classic songs that weren't part of his usual repertoire, such as "Dixie", "New Orleans" and "Sweet Georgia Brown", which he had never previously recorded.

Formed in the late forties, the Dukes of Dixieland were one of the best among the many groups of "Dixie" revival groups of the fifties - featuring

Frank Assunto (tp, vcl), 
Fred Assunto (tn), 
"Papa" Jac Assunto (banjo), 
Jerry Fuller (cl), 
Stanley Mendelsohn (p), 
Lowell Miller (tuba)  
Red Hawley (d).
