Satchmo's Final Playlist: The Reel-to-Reel Tapes of Louis Armstrong

Joab Jackson

In his earlier sets of home recordings, Armstrong would line the front of the tape box with photos from his life, often of obscure origins. They were photos of him on the road, with other famous musicians, of his wife Lucille and family, and some of fans who had visited "pops" at home. When he started this set, he didn't decorate the boxes, presumably because he was still too weak.
