The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

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. Beginning with his last major performance, 1967's "What a Wonderful World," the disc takes listeners on a 75-minute tour that pays closest attention to his ...

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 ...

If You Got to Ask, You Ain't Got It! (2006) more music like this

by Fats Waller

During his 21-year recording career, Thomas "Fats" Waller waxed so many hundreds of songs that only a dedicated few have heard them all even once, let alone often enough to understand the true nature of his legacy. While longtime collectors can attest to the awesome breadth and depth of Waller's massive discography, your average citizen needs and ...

The Butch Thompson Trio Plays Favorites

The Butch Thompson Trio Plays Favorites (1992) more music like this

by Butch Thompson

Pianist Butch Thompson has been quite consistent in his recording career, sticking to his vision of creatively interpreting pre swing New Orleans and Chicago jazz within the tradition. While most of his sets feature some obscurities, this CD with his trio (which also includes bassist Robbie Schlosser and the colorful drummer Hal Smith) sticks to ...

by Louis Armstrong

Columbia's Greatest Hits is good sampling of Louis Armstrong's most popular hits, capturing familiar versions of such staples as "A Theme from the Threepenny Opera (Mack the Knife)," "(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Basin Street Blues," "All of Me," "West End Blues" and "Struttin' with Some Barbecue."

Brubeck & Rushing

Brubeck & Rushing (1960) more music like this

by Dave Brubeck Quartet Featuring Jimmy Rushing

Although associated with the more modern styles of jazz, Brubeck always had a great respect (if not reverence) for the masters of the past. On ten standards Brubeck, altoist Paul Desmond and the Quartet fit in perfectly behind the great swing/blues singer Jimmy Rushing who sounds rejuvenated by the fresh setting. This disc, a surprising success, ...

Broadway: The American Musical (2004) more music like this

by Various Artists

This five-CD box set, containing 106 tracks and running six-and-one-third-hours, is an audio companion to the six-part PBS documentary series Broadway: The American Musical, but not the soundtrack to that series. Rather, it is a sampler covering 84 years of recordings and 99 years of show tunes. One song has been chosen from each of 102 musicals. ...

The Divine Sarah Vaughan: The Columbia Years 1949-1953 (1960) more music like this

by Sarah Vaughan

Twenty-eight of the 60 songs that Sarah Vaughan recorded for Columbia Records during her four years there. The early sides are arranged, with one exception (credited to Hugo Winterhalter), by Joe Lipman, while later sides have her working with a diverse group of arrangers and conductors, including Glenn Miller alumnus Norman Leyden and light music ...

A Handful of Keys (1999) more music like this

by Fats Waller

A wonderfully selected chronological taste of Fats Waller from his first piano solo up through the glorious ensemble swing of 1935. Many recent U.S. attempts at a Waller sampler seem haphazard by comparison. Ever since the deletion of his entire Bluebird catalog, the European labels have been a great source of consolation for disgruntled admirers ...

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 ...

Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong (2006) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

No other American musician had the sustained impact on pop music that Louis Armstrong had, who not only charted hits for forty some years beginning in the '20s and running through the '60s, but also completely revolutionized the very way pop material is delivered, both as the absolute ground zero for jazz trumpet and as a singer whose horn man's ...

The Best of Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra (2000) more music like this

by Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

The majority of the tracks on Best of Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra are actually recordings of Teddy Wilson's performances while he was in Benny Goodman's band. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable selection of swing music from a great big band, half of which feature such all-but-forgotten vocalists as Nan Wynn and Boots Castle. The songs on this ...

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1923) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

This four-CD set does its best to summarize Louis Armstrong's career during 1923-1934, reissuing 81 of his finest recordings. The problem is that virtually all of the innovative trumpeter/vocalist's records from the era (particularly 1923-1931) are essential, and collectors will want to work on acquiring more complete series, so this box is most ...

Priceless Jazz (1935) more music like this

Although it is by no means a definitive collection, GRP's Priceless Jazz is a nice sampler of Louis Armstrong's Decca work, highlighted by "I'm in the Mood for Love," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Struttin' with Some Barbecue," "Gone Fishin'," "What a Wonderful World" and an alternate take of "Solitude." There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's ...

Gold (2006) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Annotator Bob Porter begins his liner notes to Hip-O Records' Louis Armstrong compilation Gold by citing a chart statistic: Leadoff track "What a Wonderful World" became a Top 40 hit in 1988, 20 years after it was recorded, due to its inclusion in the movie Good Morning, Vietnam. That is a clue to the approach that the collection takes -- this is ...

Ain't Misbehavin' [ASV/Living Era] (1995) more music like this

by Fats Waller

As the Internet Age continues to offer premature upgrades and seizure-inducing pop-up advertising, much of Fats Waller's recorded legacy is ending up in disorganized heaps of haphazardly downloaded files with little or no context to help the listener sort them out. Many CD compilations seem hardly better organized, offering Waller's best and not ...
