Alyn Shipton offers guidance to building a jazz library.

This programme features the great Louis Armstrong. Satchmo's early work is assessed by his friend and fellow trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton, while his legacy is explored by Abram Wilson, one of the finest contemporary New Orleans trumpeters. Ranging from the early Hot Five days of the 1920s to his final triumphs with the All Stars, Alyn suggests the best recordings by Louis to form the cornerstone of any jazz collection.
