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

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

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.

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

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

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 A great Xmas..., December 29, 2002

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

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.

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.

“The Great Chicago Concert

by Louis Armstrong

is mainly Dixieland, quite Jazz, with hints of Ragtime”
