Mosaic Records (the premier re-issuer of old jazz classic sets) is now accepting pre-orders for a new 11 CD set of V-Disc (V for Victory) recordings produced between 1942-1949 for the US military.
Since the US govt ordered that all of the masters & stampers be destroyed at the end of the program, Mosaic re-mastered the recordings from available 78s (& in some cases from masters that were saved from destruction).
I just ordered it & haven't heard all of it yet but clips from the set are provided in the link below. Since this music was produced during the hey-day of #SwingJazz (prior to post-war #Bop) that's what you're going to hear on this set but it's music that no one except your parents or grandparents ever got to hear when the music was originally produced & aired.
Some great jazz artists of the era are listed in performing on these CDs, including but not limited to #LouisArmstrong #ArtTatum #BenWebster #BobbyHackett #HerbEllis #JackTeagarden

"With the release of new, previously unheard live recordings from the BBC, questions remain over Louis Armstrong's complicated and controversial career and persona."

It’s against the law to make a Jazz playlist without Louis Armstrong. Here he is with his All Stars playing “Muskrat Ramble” (https://youtu.be/0vpuFYQwZ5o?si=5nF0EcHi0_hJJEdH) even in his later years he still had that magic

21/ „What a wonderful world“ ist von #LouisArmstrong.
Nichts von dem Lied (und dem Video) passt auf die Welt von heute bzw. die Situation vor Ort.
Die Schmetterlinge und Bienen sind tot, die Bäume krank. Die Hütten in den #Alpen haben kein #Wasser mehr. Regenbogen gibt es noch ab und zu, aber je nach dem, wo wir auf der Welt sind, wird der Niederschlag seltener und somit auch die Regenbögen. Auf den Gesichtern der Menschen war kein Lächeln sondern Trauer und Verzweiflung. Frauen wollen zum Teil keine Kinder mehr bekommen, weil sie das für verantwortungslos halten.

#LouisArmstrong hat dieses Lied 1967 gesungen. Wikipedia schreibt dazu:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_a_Wonderful_World#Inhalt
„Die Intention des Liedes war es, eine Gegenströmung zum zunehmend schlechter werdenden politischen Klima in den USA zu bilden. Daher besingt das Lied Natur, Sonne, Farben, Freundschaften und Kinderaugen und das bei all den kleinen und großen Problemen im Leben, wo Hass, Missgunst, Machtkämpfe und Katastrophen einem die Welt manchmal alles andere als „wunderbar“ vorkommen lassen. Die erste Strophe des Textes lautet:
“I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you, and I think to myself: What a wonderful world.”“
