"These recordings were plucked from the archives of the Louis Armstrong House Museum and it is claimed in the accompanying press release "This is the first time this music has ever been made commercially available". So the first question is whether they add anything of note to the sizeable Armstrong discography and the answer is not really".

"Hard to believe, but nearly 50 years after his death we're still hearing new recordings from Louis Armstrong. Live in Europe, the fourth release of the jazz pioneer's music from Dot Time Records' Legacy Series, comprises sets from 1948 at the first Nice International Jazz Festival and a 1952 performance in Berlin. These recordings, never before released, were discovered in the archives of the Louis Armstrong House Museum. The audio quality is fine, the shows are fun, and the musicianship is stellar ... With so many Louis Armstrong albums available, you might think anything new at this point would be for completists only. You'd be wrong".

"The concerts, which reunited Armstrong and Hines for the first time since 1928, were both historic and nostalgic and occupy the first half of this CD. The newly minted crew plays with freshness, verve and bounce ... Four years later he played his first gig behind the Iron Curtain, an event of ambassadorial import at the Titania Palast, the only theater to survive the Berlin bombings of World War II. The final seven tracks cover that showing, giving us a very different and less elite All-Star".
