"Basin Street Blues" – Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five
[media=https://youtu.be/Yy2zkftILrI]
On this day in 1928, Louis Armstrong made the first recording of "Basin Street Blues".
The song was written by jazz composer, pianist, and singer Spencer Williams. It is considered one of the masterpieces of early jazz.
Armstrong recorded a slightly different version in 1933. It's also very good, but I like the original recording a little better.
