1	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 $25.71! new only from $25.71!
2	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 $31.70!
3	The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five and Seven Recordings (2002) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The most important musician of the century past has had a trumpet-load of retrospectives appear since the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2001, and few are more brisk, enjoyable, shot full of goofy energy, and essential than the remastered reissue of The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five and Seven Recordings box set. The box is four CDs of ... see all copies from $6.86! new only from $6.86!
4	The Best of Louis Armstrong [MCA] (1965) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Anyone assembling a "best-of" collection involving Louis Armstrong would have to be on one level quite relaxed, aware that just about any selection of cuts would represent the "best" of just about any other artist, few of whom are up to the level of Satchmo even when he was just coasting. It is no doubt that it was his great popularity, and not ... see all copies from $8.21! new only from $11.98!
5	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 $35.59! new only from $35.59!
6	The Very Best of Louis Armstrong [Universal] (2002) more music like this by Louis Armstrong This Verve compilation features a nice overview of sides recorded by trumpeter/vocalist Louis Armstrong during the '50s and '60s. Perhaps not the definitive collection collectors may be searching for, The Very Best of Louis Armstrong is, however, a great compilation. Included are such well-known tracks as "Hello Dolly" and "What a Wonderful World" ... see all copies from $20.31! new only from $20.31!
7	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 $12.68!
8	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 ... see all copies from $1.99!
9	New Orleans: That's Our Home (2006) more music like this by Bob Barnard/John Sheridan/Don Vickery see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
10	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 ... see all copies from $3.78!
11	1926-1927 (1926) more music like this by Clarence Williams The third CD in the Classics label's Clarence Williams program reissues all of the pianist/bandleader's dates from a ten-month period, 23 selections in all. Such groups as Joe Jordan's Ten Sharps and Flats (performing a memorable version of "Morocco Blues"), The Dixie Washboard Band, The Blue Grass Foot Warmers and Clarence Williams's Stompers (or ... see all copies from $159.80!
12 view cover	The Alternative Takes, Vol. 1: Thomas Morris 1925-1926/Clarence Williams 1924-1929 (2001) more music like this by Thomas Morris/Clarence Williams see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
