Description: Complete 5 Album Set of Louis Armstrong's Hot 5 (1947) Binding: 5 Album Box Set Edition: 1947 EditionCondition: Good, wear on album cover, albums are in good shape, beautiful copy! Description: The Hot Five was Louis Armstrong's first jazz recording band led under his own name. It was a typical New Orleans jazz band in instrumentation, consisting of trumpet, clarinet, and trombone backed by a rhythm section. The original New Orleans jazz style leaned heavily on collective improvisation, in which the three horns together played the lead: the trumpet played the main melody, and the clarinet and trombone played improvised accompaniments to the melody. This tradition was continued in the Hot Five, but because of Armstrong's creative gifts as a trumpet player, solo passages by the trumpet alone began to appear more frequently. In these solos, Armstrong laid down the basic vocabulary of jazz improvisation and became its founding and most influential exponent. The proceeds of the sale of this book will directly benefit the Newtown Square Library in Newtown Square, PA.
