5.0 out of 5 stars This is breakthrough jazz., October 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hot Fives (Audio CD)
When I first listened to this album, I thought it was all instrumental, then I came to song 6 and 7. I forget what the titles are, but both of them include Louis Armstrong's young voice that sounds ancient. The sound quality of the music is not good, but considering that it is over 70 years old it is superb. The thing I emphasize is the singing, Louis Armstrong's crazy voice just takes me away, man. No doubt. The music is terrific and it has remained in my CD player for about two weeks, and it seems like I'll never take it out. I love the music, and the music proves that Louis was strongest before he recorded Blueberry Hill. Any jazz fan needs this recording in order to understand what has transpired in the evolution of jazz. Albums like this make me want to listen to music. They've even got a banjo!!!!!
