5.0 out of 5 stars Very good., November 9, 1998

This is an excellent first choice to get acquinted with Mr. Armstrong and his All-Stars. The tracks are very clear, and Armstrong has some stunning solos. I would recommend it to a beginner. However, I would say that his live albums are a better pick overall. He really goes all-out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic songs,classic performer, how could you not buy this?, September 6, 1999

I love the old-timers, their music and their style! It is an understatement to say that, "They don't make 'em like they used to!" I am an elementary school teacher and I like to give my students the opportunity to sample "good" music while they are learning in my classroom. This music qualifies in that category! That's why I want to make it part of my personal collection!

As a jazz great, and a charming singer with a rustic voice, he proved to bring light and joy to the music. His trumpet skills was refreshing and many of the songs have brought tears to my eyes. His range of vocal skills and jazz rhythm has impressed many and one of his vocal artistry in "What a Wonderful World" provides the imagery he captures with his vision of beauty and grace. It would also make a wonderful addition to any collection of Louis Armstrong's recordings for fans who want to re-create the man who had existed not only once, but more than once.
