The Hot Fives & Sevens [JSP] [Box]

The Hot Fives & Sevens [JSP] [Box] (1999) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

One of a handful of absolutely essential jazz collections, and at a bargain price too. With this four-disc set of Armstrong's bedrock Hot Fives & Sevens sides, JSP throws down the gauntlet for labels reissuing early jazz (hats off especially to John R.T. Davies for his superb remastering work). Covering the years 1925-1929, the 90 tracks include ...

Satchmo: A Musical Autobiography

Satchmo: A Musical Autobiography (1957) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong's Satchmo: A Musical Autobiography was recorded as an oral memoir (with overdubbed background piano by Billy Kyle) combined with re-creations of many of his memorable recordings, as well as a few of the originals. Although such a project had the potential to become trite, the effort comes off very well indeed. This three-CD reissue ...

State Street Ramblers, Vol. 1 (1927-1931) (1927) more music like this

by State Street Ramblers

The Austrian RST label has on two CDs reissued the complete output of The State Street Ramblers, a primitive but very spirited series of groups that recorded during 1927-28 and 1931 under that name.

Hot Fives, Vol. 1

Hot Fives, Vol. 1 (1925) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

To say that the performances on this CD (plus the ones on volumes two through four) are classic would be an extreme understatement. With these first 16 recordings by Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, the trumpeter revolutionized jazz, changing it from an ensemble-oriented music into an art form dominated by virtuoso soloists. The most powerful jazz ...

1924-1926 (1924) more music like this

by Jelly Roll Morton

The best way to acquire Jelly Roll Morton's classic Victor recordings is on a five-CD set put out by Bluebird that includes all of the alternate takes. But listeners who do not care about alternates may find the Morton CDs in the European Classics series to be as satisfying. This particular CD actually starts off with 14 selections that predate ...

Hot Fives & Sevens, Vol. 1 (1925) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

With superior transfers by British music engineer John R.T. Davies, this JSP reissue of the first 25 sides by Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens is a first-choice disc for newcomers, while also being a very worthwhile purchase for the discriminating fan. Columbia's more high-profile, yet poorly remastered early Armstrong releases are muddy ...

State Street Ramblers, Vol. 2 (1931) more music like this

by State Street Ramblers

On the second of two CDs put out by the Austrian RST label, there is a very generous amount (26 songs) of enjoyable vintage music. Nine numbers feature the 1931 version of the State Street Ramblers, which matched together great percussive trombonist Roy Palmer with Darnell Howard (who doubles on alto and clarinet) and has plenty of spirit and ...

The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Legacy has seen fit -- and rightfully so -- to issue the complete recordings of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Seven as individual volumes instead of just a box set. This is a solid way to go for collectors trying to fill holes. It's also the best way for a beginner, not only with Armstrong's music but that of early-recorded jazz, to become ...

Jazz Original (1997) more music like this

by Pee Wee Russell

Clarinetist Pee Wee Russell was certainly an original, squawking his way quite expressively in an unpredictable fashion, carving out his own distinctive voice. This 1997 CD is meant to augment the two-CD set called The Commodore Story, for it includes some alternate takes whose master versions are on the former release or on another CD altogether, ...

Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings [Definitive Classics] (2001) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong's legendary quintet and septet recordings from the mid-'20s, known as the Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings, may not exactly be ground zero for jazz, but they certainly mark the beginning of jazz as an American music of unique distinction, pointing out as they do the genre's immense possibilities and versatility, and in Armstrong, ...

1930-1944 (1999) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

Eddie Condon was the ringleader for a traditional jazz movement that had roots in Chicago but manifested itself in New York City during the 1930s and '40s. Lean, tough, brusque and stoically alcoholic with a humorous, rhetorical manner not unlike that employed on the silver screen by James Cagney, Condon personified old-styled jazz and stubbornly ...
