The Essential Satchmo
Starting with "Ain't Misbehavin'" and finishing with "When The Saints Go Marchin' In," this collection makes me wish I'd been around 60 or 70 years ago to hear this man. His rendition of "Black and Blue" reflects the pain of man who just wanted to be accepted as a man, but once the music stopped was seen only as a black man.I can remember watching Armstrong on TV as a kid, but by then the energy was on the wane and the voice was fading. I'd pretty much forgotten about him, but recently I got lucky and caught some of PBS's wonderful series on Armstrong and wanted to hear more. Faced with a choice of nearly 300 CDs, I chose this one and I doubt I could have made a better choice. I will be back for more.If anyone wants to recommend some future Armstrong selections, I'm all ears. One thing: Amazon lists this CD as "Vol 1-3 Great Louis Armstrong," but the CD itelf is titled "The Great Louis Armstrong: 2 CDs" and the CDs are Vol I and Vol II. Not sure where Vol. 3 went.
