The recording quality from this era gets me every time. Since this was destined for retail sale, I'm going to assume it used the highest affordable "processes" available at the time. Thank you to producer and the session engineer — if those roles existed back then.

It seems that the "greatest" anything is always a matter of opinion. Perhaps "it's been said" by someone, but that doesn't make it so. |

Now, if we could just figure out how to work Potato Head Blues into the mix.

way before my time, definitely Not normally to my taste, but gotta love this - not too familiar with the great Louis Armstrong musically but by name, yes.

Same experience: had to stop and listen. Takes me back, as well (and I was born in the 50s)

One of the few pieces you play that actually warrants a higher number. That was a timepiece dipped in gold.

Not only a musical genius but one of the coolest people ever.
I read in a recent bio that his distinctive tone came from the fact that his first horn had a distorted mouthpiece. He learned how to play "incorrectly" and never felt the need to correct himself.

I just looked at your song ratings, and you must be, what - sixteen? Not a single song from before 1970. (I'm kidding about your age.) You're stingy with your ratings, so I'll just suggest that you open your mind, be receptive to the history behind songs like this one, and remember that your dad or grandfather) probably fought in a war where this music played. And don't be sorry - you like what you like. Last time I checked, we all still have the right to voice our viewpoints. Cherish it. And your snoozefest is my dance-party. Sorry. (not.) |

Just untangled myself from a really horrible political confrontation. I came here, and the dulcet sounds of Mr. Louis Armstrong calmed me down immediately. I fear I might be up all night, because my brain has kick-started and I feel the need to write, or dance, or rearrange my bedroom.
And then I'll probably crash for a couple of days with my bedroom window open wide (don't worry - I have flannel pajamas and twelve cats) (worry, because where there are available screens, available cats will do their best to shred them.)
I could listen to big-band music forever, however long that is. Louis Armstrong is the most amazing man I've ever heard, and he went through a lot to make his mark. I'm glad he's here.

I bought a Best of Blues and Best of Jazz 3 CD sets at Walmart for about $6.
Louis has a couple of songs on the Jazz albums, and now my 11 year old daughter is familiar with him. Don't think she'd voluntarily play his stuff, but I think she can at least appreciate it.
