Whether playing trumpet or singing, adding his own definitive touch to a ballad or spearheading a hot New Orleans-style band, Armstrong was a uniquely compelling figure. It's hard to compress such a career into a single CD, but this one includes many of the milestones, reaching back to 1923 for \"Chime Blues\" with Armstrong playing in the band of his mentor, King Oliver. At the opposite end of Armstrong's life is 1967's \"What a Wonderful World,\" which only became famous decades after it was recorded. In between are the creative peaks, including a good sampling of Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven bands from the late 1920s--the most influential of his recordings--and a superb small-group version of \"Old Rockin' Chair\" from 1947. Armstrong's 1931 version of Hoagy Carmichael's \"Stardust\" retains its special luster seven decades later, and there's also a good selection of trademark hits from his later career, like \"Mack the Knife\" and \"Hello, Dolly!\" --Stuart Broomer\n\nProduct Description\n\nArmstrong, Louis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 074646144022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0074646144022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2011680\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44328771584259,"sku":"0A-C4A5-TZAO","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/617UyxiMUlL.jpg?v=1698282565","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/ken-burns-jazz-1","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
