Synopsis

Album Description
Three CD set. The albums featuring Louis Armstrong's collaborations with the Dukes of Dixieland were among the first stereo recordings to fully capture Louis' magic sound. He played wonderful trumpet and vocal solos on classic songs that weren't part of his usual repertoire, such as 'Dixie', 'New Orleans' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown', which he had never previously recorded. This collection contains the complete works of Louis and the Dukes, including both the master takes and all of the alternates. Half of this music appears here on CD for the first time ever. 45 tracks. Essential Jazz Classics.
 

CD Reviews

Louis never sounded better!
Tommy | Chattanooga | 03/02/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"There is far too much "bad dixieland jazz" in the world, but here is one of the BEST examples of "Dixieland" the way it's spose to be! Louis never sounded any better and the Assuntos (Dukes of Dixieland) are as good as any back up band Louis ever had. These are many of the classics of New Orleans style Dixieland Jazz.... fun... exciting...blue... sassy and soulfull. This may be the best collection of New Orleans Style Dixieland Jazz ever recorded and with superios sound quality too! If you only have only have one Dixie set..... this is a good one. Every recording is a gem!"
Almost perfect!

"This multi-disc collection of Louis Armstrong and the Dukes of Dixieland is excellent. If it was not for a few repetitions, it would be perfect. The sound quality is top notch and the liner notes are quite good for a modestly priced set of CDs."

"No further comments; Louie and the Dukes of Dixieland is very known from the time of the Fifties they were recorded on Audio Fidelity label.

These CD productions does'nt hurt any aspect of memory of them, even, every track is completed!

The only thing I've to do is to enjoy them!"
