Louis Armstrong Greatest Hits
About This Album
This CD is part of RCA's extensive Greatest Hits jazz program, a beginner's series designed to introduce listeners to jazz, specifically RCA's jazz catalog. The 13 selections on this...CD jump back and forth between three different periods: 1933 (highlighted by "St. Louis Blues"), 1946-47 (the best music on the set) and Armstrong's next-to-last session in 1970 (including the definitive version of "What a Wonderful World"). Serious collectors will want to skip this series entirely...since the music was not programmed in chronlogical order and there was no personnel listing included; it's more a sampler for newcomers. The well-intentioned release does contain some worthwhile material...all of which is currently available elsewhere. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
