Louis Armstrong’s Hot Five Volume 2, Columbia C-139, celebrates pioneering early jazz in a four-record shellac album set released in the United States in 1947. Album No. 18 in Columbia’s Hot Jazz Classics series, this collection revisits Armstrong’s influential 1927 recordings, including “Put ’Em Down Blues” and “Savoy Blues,” showcasing the expressive trumpet playing and ensemble interplay that helped shape jazz history. A particularly collectible feature is the original bound album’s colorful cover illustration by celebrated artist Jim Flora, whose distinctive style made his record covers sought-after examples of mid-century graphic art. The original album with bound record sleeves is included, making this an appealing addition to Louis Armstrong collections, traditional jazz libraries, and vintage album-art displays. These 10-inch shellac records play at 78 RPM. Good vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and use.
Dimensions: Records measure 10” diameter each RPM: 78
