5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless piece of my collection, December 13, 2007

This by far my favorite Louis CD I have found. While there are better quality recordings of some of these songs, this disc is worth the personality. It is one long live disc that carries humor and little jokes with all players in between each song. It showcases not just Satch, but Edmund Hall and Trummy Young as well.

Olde Miss Blues and Sweet Georgia Brown are my favorite for unique instrumental solos. Every performance of jazz is different, but I've never found one I like better than this one. This recording even contains Louis with a genuinely happy and jovial voice, far from many stiffer, more formal recordings. My disc has taken a beating, and it can only be replaced with this recording!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY!, February 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: On the Road (Audio CD)

My husband gave me this CD for christmas two years ago, more for himself, I think, than for me. It has turned into a family favorite as our kids (7 & 11) both love it too. The sound quality is UNBELIEVABLY good and the performance is unsurpassed in good humor. This is a top 5 CD of all time and I can't possibly say enough good things about it. (and check out the price!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Louis Armstrong - on the road with his best All Star Line-up, April 6, 2008

This is a good live record of Armstrong with his best All Star - Line Up, Edmond Hall - Clarinet, Trummy Young - Trombone, Billy Kyle - Piano, Barrett Deems - Drums and Squire Gersh - Bass, Velma Middleton - Vocals.
Although I personally prefer Jazz with as little vocals as possible this is still a good record with the band playing well notable the great solo by Ed Hall on Sweet Georgia Brown with out any doubt the craziest solo ever played on that song.
The only "draw back" for me personally is the song choice :
I love Jazz, High Society, Ole Miss Blues, Blue Moon, Sweet Georgia Brown, Blues, Mack The Knife, Tenderly, Baby it's Cold Outside, C'est si bon.
I am missing the REAL Stuff like Mahogany Hall Stomp, Tiger Rag etc.
That's why only 4 points.
Satchmo The great is a record that I can recommend!!! One of the best Armstrong live-records ever.
