Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet
Included here are some of Sonny Rollins' earliest sessions as a bandleader. These are among the fresh and vibrant baker's dozen of selections on Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet (1953). The title is a bit misleading though, since the MJQ -- with John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibes), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums) -- is ...

Louis and the Good Book [Bonus Tracks]
(1958)
more music like this
by
Louis Armstrong
Although this CD reissue by Louis Armstrong is promoted as a jazz release, the jazz content of the music within this compilation of religious songs is rather minimal. The corny Sy Oliver arrangements and the dreadful backing choir repeatedly prove to be very distracting; the few times that Armstrong and his band are able to cut loose, they are ...

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. It does, however, do a great job of touching down at key points, and nicely balances Armstrong's various guises as a groundbreaking sideman, soloist, bandleader, singer, and ...

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 ...

An intriguing but much too brief collection of Louis Armstrong performances that were featured in various films from the 1930s through the 1960s, this set is quite pleasant, with solid takes on such Armstrong standards as "Ain't Misbehavin'" (the version here is from 1951), "Jeepers Creepers" (from 1938), and "Basin Street Blues" (also from 1951, ...
