Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Classics don't come more classic than this. It was with this series of recordings, made between 1925 and 1929, that Armstrong laid the foundations for jazz as we know it today. But historical significance aside, these 89 tracks contain some of the most elegant and moving jazz ever recorded. There have been complete editions of this material before, but probably none so carefully prepared or so lavishly presented as this. The four discs are contained in a hardback book, packed with period pictures and detailed notes, all inside a cardboard slip-case. As well as every number recorded under the names of the Hot Five and Hot Seven, Columbia have included other work recorded by Armstrong at around the same time--for instance, those by the Hot Five under the name of its pianist, Louis's wife, Lil, as "Lil's Hot Shots". The sound of these old tracks has been sensitively restored, many being heard at exactly the right speed for the first time in half a century or more, and all arranged in the original recording sequence. This means that we can follow the evolution of a great 20th-century artist, from early promise to full maturity. --Dave Gelly
