MA,
Sorry I didn't get to this last night. All are available from Amazon.com.
I really can't recommend the Jazz Masters Series Vol. 2 highly enough. It's 5 CDs all recorded live at the Black Lion, mostly between 1955 & 1965. A small sample of the musicians:
Count Basie
Duke Ellington
Thelonius Monk
Freddie Hubbard
Louis Armstrong
Ben Webster
Earl Hines
Dexter Gordon
Bud Freeman
Nat King Cole
Buddy Rich
And it's available used like new for $15.
Anyway, here's the info on the disks:
Louis Armstrong plays W.C. Handy
Audio CD (March 25, 1997)
Label: Sony
Catalog: #64925
ASIN: B000002ADP
The Original Jazz Masters Series Vol. 2
Audio CD (May 1, 1993)

I don't (yet!) have vol. one, but I found it while checking Amazon.COM for availability:
