5	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 $11.06! new only from $11.06!
6	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.

7	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 $6.18! new only from $6.18!
8 $The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy]$	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.

10	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 ... see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!

12 view cover	Jazz Moods: Hot (2005) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The Louis Armstrong volume in Columbia's Jazz Moods: Hot series isn't a career overview, but it benefits from the narrowed focus.

While Vince Giordano's Nighthawks (a group including the then-unknown clarinetist Ken Peplowski and trumpeter Randy Sandke) act as the "house band," such classic jazz veterans as ... see all copies from $9.99!

15 view cover	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 $23.04! new only from $23.04!

18 view cover	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 $54.81! new only from $54.81!
19 view cover	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 $5.33! new only from $5.33!
