Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There are many Louis Armstrong anthologies, and this one is certainly outstanding, with 24 tracks running over 77 minutes, spanning all but the very earliest years of Satchmo's career. The majority of the album covers Armstong's various bands over the years, the Orchestra, Dixieland Seven and All Stars, but also featuring tracks such as "Only You" (1955) with the Benny Carter Orchestra, and "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" (1950) with Ella Fitzgerald and the Sy Oliver Orchestra. As the cover says "The sound quality is excellent for its period on all tracks, but inevitably various throughout the album. All tracks have been newly digitally remastered for this compilation from original source material." Thus "St. Louis Blues" from 1933 really swings, and "Pennies From Heaven" (1947) shines with authentic character despite a somewhat rough live recording. Well featured are trumpet-led tunes such as "Tiger Rag" (1947), as well as the later famous hits like "Mack The Knife" (1956) and "Moon River" (1964) dominated by that unmistakably rich voice. Most Armstrong anthologies include "What A Wonderful World", but this album also contains a fascinating alternative take from 1970. It's a difficult choice, but if you only have room for one Armstrong collection, this excellent release just might be it. --Gary S. Dalkin
