The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy]

The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy] (2004) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Even at two discs and 37 tracks, it's difficult to say that this set contains everything that is truly essential from Louis Armstrong's monumental five-decade career. It does, however, do a great job of touching down at key points, and nicely balances Armstrong's various guises as a groundbreaking sideman, soloist, bandleader, singer, and ...

Our New Orleans: A Benefit Album for the Gulf Coast (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Several benefit albums have been released in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and most -- if not all -- of them have been fine and well-intentioned affairs, full of the spirited and lively music that has long made the Crescent City special. Each of these collections has merit, but if you can only afford ...

by Various Artists

This Christmas jazz CD contains 14 performances, a dozen of them not available on other sets.

The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 1-5

The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, Vol. 1-5 (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz is itself somewhat of a classic, referred to in many books, and used as the main learning source in at least one. If you don't know what you like in jazz and are looking for a well-put-together introduction, this set is a good bet. It starts with ragtime's Scott Joplin, and proceeds through Bessie Smith, ...

16 Most Requested Songs (1994) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

16 Most Requested Songs is a mid-priced collection that attempts to spotlight many good performances by Louis Armstrong, including "Mack the Knife" and "Blueberry Hill." The collection claims to present his "most requested" work, but any set that leaves off "What a Wonderful World" and "Hello, Dolly!" can't deliver. At the same time, these are ...

Trumpet Evolution

Trumpet Evolution (2003) more music like this

by Arturo Sandoval

Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval is one of those cats who can never be predictable. He's either amazing -- actually, technically he always is -- or his records are putrid exercises in hollow proficiency with no soul. Trumpet Evolution, which is literally a journey through the great trumpeters from jazz's and orchestral music's past, is easily the finest ...

The Definitive Collection devoted to Louis Armstrong takes a reverse chronological view of the pop giant's career, a format that functions surprisingly well considering its intended purpose.

Jump Start and Jazz

Jump Start and Jazz (1996) more music like this

by Wynton Marsalis & the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra

These ballets, each lasting a few minutes over half an hour, are mostly written-out compositions with jazz rhythm sections and jazz inflections from the players. As in much of Marsalis' writing in the '90s, he reaches back to several pre-bop classic jazz styles to form a synthesis of his own, with the wailing mark of Ellington ever-present in the ...

by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band

If you have been yearning for the original sound of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band to return, Buck Jump is it. Produced by John Medeski, the ensemble returns to their roots, but with a twist. They remain the ultimate party group, but are fastened to the stage with a drummer, organist, the full complement of horns sounding funky and fresh with that ...

Love Songs

Love Songs (2000) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

This 15-song compilation of performances emphasizes Armstrong's vocals and romantic material. Although the material spans 1929 to 1961, because of what Columbia has access to, the chronological balance is skewed; half a dozen tracks were done between 1929 and 1930, and the rest between 1955 and 1961, leaving a large gap between the two periods. It ...

Chanson du Vieux Carre should simply be titled Harry Connick, Jr.'s New Orleans album. The material chosen for this set is comprised of jazz tunes associated with the Crescent City, or simply tunes Connick wrote about it. According to the liner notes, he arranged it all on his computer while traveling from gig to gig over a period of years. The ...

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ...

Crescent City Christmas Card (1990) more music like this

by Wynton Marsalis

Due to some of his statements, Wynton Marsalis gained the reputation of not having much of a sense of humor but the picture of him on this album (plus the music in general) dispelled that notion. Marsalis and his expanded septet (which welcomed such guests as clarinetist Alvin Batiste, baritonist Joe Temperley and, on one song apiece, singers Jon ...
