The second title in the History label's 15-CD box set Louis Armstrong and in the Past Perfect label's ten-CD box set Portrait (both imprints are part of the German firm The International Music Company), Wild Man Blues picks up the complete recordings of Louis Armstrong as a leader during a November 16, 1926, session with the Hot Five and follows his recorded output for just over a year, including the expansion of the Hot Five (Armstrong; his wife, Lillian Hardin Armstrong; Kid Ory; Johnny Dodds; and Johnny St. Cyr) into the Hot Seven with the addition of tuba player Pete Briggs and drummer Baby Dodds, though by the final four tracks the original Hot Five are back in place. The album also includes Armstrong's first big band recording, "Chicago Breakdown"; it is a ten-piece performance made with a group nominally led by Carroll Dickerson, but renamed Louis Armstrong and His Stompers for the occasion. The album is full of classic tracks such as the hits "Big Butter and Egg Man" (with Armstrong and May Alix on vocals), "Keyhole Blues," "Potato Head Blues," and "Struttin' With Some Barbecue." What sounds like considerable sound processing has resulted in a hiss- and crackle-free sound that misses the highs as a result. Although this material is in the public domain in Europe, it is claimed by Sony Music in the U.S.; nevertheless, the two box sets are readily available at a modest price domestically through mail order. Columbia/Legacy's 2000 four-CD box set The Complete Hot Five and Seven Recordings contains these recordings in better fidelity and with far superior annotations, and is thus recommended over this bare-bones collection, which cuts off arbitrarily after 20 tracks, or in the middle of the December 9, 1927, Hot Five recording session. But this one is also far less expensive.
