This recording is from the last of the Hot 5/Hot 7 recordings that Louis Armstrong made between 1925 and 1928—stylized reinterpretations of the early 20th century Jazz style from his native New Orleans. Drummer Zutty Singleton was another musician who hailed from New Orleans during that time when Jazz was being born.
