  • Description

    A splendid compilation of some of Louis Armstrong's earlier work. The great thing about almost any Armstrong collection is that it will have a few songs that are well known (either by performances of Louis Armstrong or another individual) and a few new discoveries. Happily, this is no different. This disc has some delightful singing on the standards like "I'm In The Mood For Love", and "Sunny Side Of The Street", it would not be Louis without some equally wonderful trumpet work, particularly on "Love Walked In", "Red Sails In The Sunset". There is a fabulous duet with Frances Langford and Bing Crosby on "Pennies From Heaven". This is some of Armstrong's best work from a time when his horn was sounding as sweet as it ever did.
