5	Putumayo Presents: New Orleans (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Putumayo provides a nice introduction to Nawlins jazz here, with a pretty good mix of the classic and the contemporary.

10	Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy (1954) more music like this by Louis Armstrong and His All-Stars This recording was not only Louis Armstrong's finest record of the 1950s but one of the truly classic jazz sets. Out of print for years, it was reissued quite shoddily in 1986 on a Columbia CD with alternates in place of many of the original versions and no real explanation. It was a complete and inexcusable mess and should be avoided by all but ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $6.75!

It features ten cuts of the former collegiate Dixieland band (which made no less than six LPs in four years at the height of the folk revival!) at its most gimmicky and good-natured. Almost an in-joke, Washington Square, with its title and the band ... see all copies from $3.71! new only from $3.71!
