A few caveats. First, on a few songs, Armstrong's trumpet sounds a bit harsh. In part, this is due to his technique (which, this pressing reveals, wasn't in the finest shape); in part, I think, it's due to the microphone. (The slight harshness is there on another pressing I have of this album, too. It's also worth noting that on the songs that begin with Pops blowing the horn, it sounds fine—rich and warm—which suggests that microphone placement may be a factor.)
