This review is from: Kiss Of Fire (Audio CD)

The Pazzazz label usually offers good quality recordings for relatively little expense. The production quality, however, is bare bones. On this set, there is no documentation of the sources of the recordings, or any listing of Armstrong's backup musicians. Most of the vocal duets are credited, although there is the notable omission of two duets with Billie Holiday. In general, these are serviceable monaural recordings, with a few substandard exceptions, that appear to be taken from broadcast performances. Armstrong is on good form throughout, and his duets with Holiday, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jack Teagarden are quite delectable. There is a lot of fine trumpet playing, although just about every track features an Armstrong vocal. In sum, if the price is right (I got my copy for $4.) and the limitations of the documentation don't bother you, this is a very easy way to obtain some top flight entertainment from Satchmo.
