Louis Armstrong is undoubtedly one of the most influential performers in jazz music history; an artist whose contributions to everything from swing to pop to session jazz is unparalleled. This retrospective collection features the cream of the crop of Satchmo's catalog, including favorites like "Dream A Little Dream of Me," "Blueberry Hill," "Ain't Misbehavin'" and, of course, "What a Wonderful World." Of note is the sound quality - each of the songs was digitally remastered and sounds fabulous; completely clean with little sign of their true age. Of course, the true appeal is the endearing gravelly voice and improvisational trumpet skills of Armstrong - he was a music legend and this collection pays him due respect.
