Green ink signature, “Louis Armstrong,” on the reverse of a 2.75 x 5.25 slip clipped from an unrelated photocopy. Also signed by Cozy Cole, Arvell Shaw, Jack Teagarden, Earl Fatha Hines, Barney Bigard, and Bunny West, with a typed collector’s notation dating the signatures “July, 1950, ‘The Blue Note,’ Chicago.” In very good condition, with a fold to the lower portion (not affecting any signatures), moderate scattered soiling, the top of Cole’s signature trimmed off, and Barney Bigard’s signature faded but legible. Assembled in 1947 and announced at the opening of Billy Berg’s famous supper club, Louis Armstrong and His All Stars played for over a decade, producing some of the best known recordings in jazz history. The group’s performances at Chicago’s legendary Blue Note jazz club are of mythic status, making this an especially interesting and desirable set of signatures. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
