Looking for recommendations on the best Louis Armstrong LP to start with. See several on Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct... Love his voice; what's a top notch LP to get first?
satchmo plays king oliver on classic records 200gm release is one of my favorites. entire album is great from start to finish. Another good one is the verve release of i've got the world on a string.
If you can find the 180G pressings of "Louis Under the Stars" and "I've Got the World On a String" snatch them up! The vocals sound very rich on these 2.
Louis and Duke's first "The Great Summit" is also otstanding.
1. The Great Summit: Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington 2. Satch Plays Fats (Waller) 3. Louis Armstrong Plays W.C Handy. 4. Ella and Louis ... get the 2 cd, 2003 Verve set 5. Complete Hot 5 and Hot 7 box set.
