Besides "On A Cocoanut Island" which Andy posted, there's also "Hawaiian Hospitality".

Louis Armstrong with Andy Iona and His Islanders
Recorded March 24, 1937
Recorded in New York City
Louis Armstrong, trumpet, vocal; Sam Koki, steel guitar; George Archer, Harry Baty, guitar; Andy Iona, ukulele; Joe Nawahi, bass
Originally released on Decca 1216

Here's a bit more about this unusual collaboration.

The CD "Jazz Goes Hawaiian" has all four tracks Armstrong recorded with Andy Iona.

Thanks Brad. Great read Bamboo Bridge is a terrific cut for the feel, steel work, and Armstrong's impeccable swing feeling.

Very Happy
This a really nice set and I think it's kind of hard to get.
Go to the "For Sale Section" and check out the "LPs, CDs etc" to see photos of some of the albums.
