Davies for his superb remastering work). Covering the years 1925-1929, the 90 tracks include ...

by
Louis Armstrong & King Oliver
The 11 vintage selections reissued on this 1997 CD (less than 33 minutes of music) are taken straight from a budget LP of two decades earlier. The music (seven numbers by King Oliver from 1923 and 1926, three of Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Bessie Smith's rendition of "Mean Old Bed Bug Blues") is often classic, but the somewhat random ...

The Essential Recordings 1925-1940
(2006)

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 ...
