Description

One of the first, and still one of the best, monographs written about the seminal New Orleans cornetist, Louis Armstrong’s “Papa Joe.” This is a virtually mint copy of the First Edition, in dust jacket. It was the property of Armstrong’s later clarinetist, Joe Muranyi, whose name is inscribed in ink on the front free endpaper.
