1	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 ... see all copies from $14.40! new only from $60.15!
2	The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings [Columbia/Legacy] (2000) more music like this by Louis Armstrong This four-CD set brings together all the recordings made during the period of the Hot Five and Hot Sevens along with all the attendant recordings that Armstrong was involved in during this breakthrough period. Although this material has been around the block several times before -- and continues to be available in packages greatly varying in ... see all copies from $31.23! new only from $35.59!
3	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 ... see all copies from $24.48! new only from $24.48!
4	King Louis (2005) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Simply put, this imported Proper box set -- containing four discs and a lovely booklet -- documents the recordings Louis Armstrong made with His Hot Fives and Sevens between 1923 and 1929, as well as his sides with King Oliver and some as a bandleader after the demise of those bands. It's true, Sony/BMG Legacy has issued a three-disc set of the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $18.91!
5	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 ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $42.93!
6	24 Chefs d'Cueuvres (2003) more music like this by Louis Armstrong see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.50!
7	Hot Fives & Hot Sevens, Vol. 2 [JSP] (1998) more music like this by Louis Armstrong For affordability and sound quality, JSP outshines Columbia and most other labels with its high protein four-disc Hot Fives & Sevens collection. Volume two of this set documents an especially fine segment of the Louis Armstrong story with 21 classic sides waxed in Chicago between May and December 1927. These are some of the best records Louis ... see all copies from $1.99!
8	The Best of the Decca Years, Vol. 2: The Composer (1935) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Vol. 2 : Armstrong the Composer. These recordings range from a take of "Old Man Mose" recorded in 1935 to a version of "Hobo, You Can't Ride This Train" recorded with Sy Oliver's Orchestra in 1957, and the focus, as the subtitle indicates, is on Armstrong as songwriter, so you get such standards as "Potato Head Blues" and "Struttin' With Some ... see all copies from $3.63! new only from $4.81!
9	The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The second volume of Legacy's brilliant collection of Louis Armstrong's complete Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings reveals the transition from quintet to septet. The first four tunes have May Alix added on vocals, and then Harry Clark replaces Kid Ory, who briefly went off to start his own band. In May of 1927, however, John Thomas takes over the ... see all copies from $5.10! new only from $5.10!
10	Louis Armstrong & His Hot Five & Hot Seven: 1926-1927 (1926) more music like this by Louis Armstrong & His Hot Five & Hot Seven Louis Armstrong's Hot Five was the most influential jazz band of the mid-'20s. The first volume of Armstrong's complete works reissued by Classics followed this group's trail of recordings from November of 1925 through those made almost exactly one year later. Opening this second volume of vintage Armstrong, the Hot Five's last three records of ... see all copies from $79.95!
11 view cover	Hot Fives & Sevens, Vol. 3 [Columbia] (1927) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Louis Armstrong's 1925-1928 recordings with his Hot Fives and Hot Sevens belong in every serious jazz collection, even those owned by listeners who otherwise do not listen to music before bebop. Armstrong's remarkable trumpet solos of the 1920s were so advanced that they indirectly led the way not only toward swing but bop of 20 years later. On ... see all copies from $2.99!
12 view cover	Take Me to the Midnight Cake Walk Ball (1998) more music like this by John Gill Trombonist John Gill's Dixieland Serenaders are in excellent form during their second recording. Gill's arrangements pay tribute to the obvious predecessors among two trumpet/cornet groups: King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band and Lu Watters & the Yerba Buena Jazz Band. However, the music, although related, is not too derivative of these ensembles and ... see all copies from $15.00!
13 view cover	The Essential Recordings 1925-1940 (2006) more music like this by Louis Armstrong It's difficult, if not truly impossible, to finitely pick Louis Armstrong's essential recordings, since the man transformed jazz -- and all of pop music -- profoundly in his career, and he didn't do it with one track, or two tracks, or even a dozen tracks; he did it by the sheer accumulation of his playing and singing. That said, this generous ... see all copies from $53.36! new only from $53.36!
14 view cover	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, ... see all copies from $49.61! new only from $49.61!
15 view cover	Jazz Ambassador: Scott Robinson Plays the Compositions of Louis Armstrong (2004) more music like this by Scott Robinson While most jazz listeners and critics name Louis Armstrong as the genre's foremost innovator, Scott Robinson still believes that certain Armstrong contributions have been overlooked. Whereas Armstrong has received credit for his improvisations and his scat-style singing, few recall his compositions. Jazz Ambassador: Scott Robinson Plays the ... see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
