A Fine Introduction For A Bargain Price

This is a great single disc introduction to the music of Louis Armstrong. The great West End Blues is on here as well as early works such as Heebie Jeebies, When You're Smiling, Ain't Misbehavin', and Potato Head Blues. If you want to explore further, the Hot Fives/Hot Sevens box set or the 7 volumes of early Louis Armstrong are very highly recommended. The sound is as good as you would expect for recordings seventy-plus years old and a wonderful surprise for all those people who know Louis only through Wonderful World or Hello Dolly.

the king of jazz

I do not know how many Louis Armstrong anthologies there are, but one thing I know for certain is that this is one of the best, if not the best, anthology of Satchmo's songs.
There is an extraordinary recording of West End Blues and of Potato Head Blues, a super-famous recording of Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust, there is a very interesting version of When you're smiling, but above all there is Armstrong's masterful performance on Basin Street.
Satchmo's performance is literally breath-taking: his voice and his trumpet have never bee better and they go straight to the heart.
This collection is great not only for those who like to learn something about jazz. This is a record that everybody should listen to. This is some of the best jazz ever played.
