Biography

Louis Armstrong was one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th Century thanks to the way he improvised with his trumpet. Among non-jazz fans, "Satchmo" is best known for singing ballads like "What a Wonderful World".

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

3.0 out of 5 stars 30 minutes of Armstrong's most commercial music, September 6, 2001

By	David Fieni (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

While this record is indeed Louis Armstrong, and therefore better than 98% of the music available out there, it is only of marginal interest when considered within the specific context of Louis Armstrong's incredible and revoluitionary career. The disc is only 31 minutes long, which in the age of CDs is unforgivable. This is a great record for those with a superficial interest in Satchmo, especially those who want to have "It's a Wonderful World" in their collection, but not for anyone interested in exploring Armstrong's unmatched capabilities as a true jazz virtuoso. Most of the tunes here are overproduced and highly orchestrated. Still, it is Louis Armstrong...

5.0 out of 5 stars True musical genius, June 10, 2000

By	P. J. Golda "Digilante" (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a wonderful album! All eleven tracks are strong, but of course his "What A Wonderful World" must rate as the most beautiful rendition thereof. "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" is my personal favourite of the album, but again, the entire selection is top class. This is/was one of his best releases, go and get it. I recommend this without reservation.

If you are new to Louis Armstrong, then this is the best place to start. His voice is rich and deep, and the tempo ranging from slow Sunday afternoon, to an old-fashioned Saturday night dance.

5.0 out of 5 stars His Best, March 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What a Wonderful World (Audio CD)

This is my first & favorite of Louie. This was recorded near his final years & with many of his friends around. You can hear & feel a real love from this man. Many of the song reflect his life like "Boy From New Orleans" & "This Black Cat". Everyone will like the often played "What A Wonderful World". I really like his version of "Give Peace A Chance", maybe even better than John Lennon's version (and I'm a big Beatle fan too). Give it a try yourself.
