Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans in 1901. By the mid-20s he had moved to Chicago and was recording seminal jazz standards such as "Weatherbird", "Muggles" and "West… Read more in Amazon's Louis Armstrong Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic All Star Show, August 23, 2000

Andrew Levas "vanneumann" (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Great Chicago Concert 1956 - Complete (Audio CD)

One of the best All Star recordings of them all. The entire band is in top form and the mood is sublime. If you love Louis don't miss it, it's finer than the California Concerts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Xmas..., December 28, 2002

Lizzy (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Chicago Concert 1956 - Complete (Audio CD)

WWOZ.com (New Orleans jazz and heritage radio) played this whole show for its Christmas morning programming and just blew us all away at our house. Too busy dancing to get the presents opened! I ordered my own copy, and recommend it highly- it's not just a great concert, but very much of a time and place, and so has a special kind of magic. All the intensity you want in a live show, with Satch at the top of his form. Amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best recorded concert, August 7, 2004

Blues Bro "bluesbro" (Lakewood, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Great Chicago Concert 1956 - Complete (Audio CD)

Satchmo and the band are on fire and the program is really special. But I have a big letdown: the CD boasts that it is 20 bit mastered and super bit mapping. But nowhere on the cover they mention that on many selections Louis and the band are caught off mike. And since this CD is rather pricy, I felt a little cheated by Columbia/Legacy this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!
This is a great sampling of Louis Armstrong. You also get the advantage of hearing him in front of an audience -- which is authentic jazz.
