Wow, what a great box set this is.
Just imagine, Louis Armstrong is one of the most influential musicians of popular music of all time and never is there a complete carreer-spanning box set released, until now!
10 CD's of which 8 are filled with the best commercial recorded and issued music in the best quality ever, one CD of rare and unreleased recordings and one CD is filled with an amazing interview by Mr. Dan Morgenstern in 1965.
If Mr. Armstrong is new to you, this is the one and only set which will let you discover all the secrets of Louis Armstrong's music! If you are an old fan, buy it too. The package is completed with an outstanding hardcover book and in the suitcase you will find a couple of hand written music sheets. Man, what an enjoyment. I played every CD several times before i went on to the next. The quality of each CD still trills me so much when i play it.
My tubes are "red hot". Every aspect of the musical path of Louis Armstrong is used in this box set. All his collaborations with other artists e.g. Ella Fitzgerald, Mills Brothers, Louis Jordan, Oscar Peterson and so on is taken care off.
This kind of great great box sets only comes once in a while. Don't wait! Buy it, it's a bargain!.You will fall in love (again) with Louis Armstrong!

SATCHMO AMBASSADOR OF JAZZ
This wonderful presentation is a worthy reminder of the outstanding career of one of the best musicians the world has known.For people who have never enjoyed the very varied music of Louis this will be an amazing revelation.
The compilation consists of nine CDs each containing between 15 to 24 beautifully remastered tracks which are of a much higher quality than any of those I already possess. The discs contain tracks covering Louis's career covering a period from 1923 to 1964. The early tracks from the 1920s define his influence on jazz.
The book is also an excellent overview of his life and times, with photos of his many musical partners.
This is all packed in a little suitcase, along with the the reproductions of his early record covers, and some sheet music. This makes it a beautiful gift for any jazz lover.Ambassador of Jazz

Heaven, this is music and history heaven.
Thank you for putting this together. First of all, it
LOOKS great. A real conversation starter.
But the music is even better - Louis sounds so clear
and true, very good work.
Great choices of songs and thanks for the book, I learned
a lot.
GET THIS SET - IT'S THE BEST LOUIS EVER.
