Listened to again and the purity of that early Jazz sound rips and rumbles. Think of being at the speaks in the early am and dancing with abandon. The music 100 yrs later still amazes for the virtuosity and amazing Armstrong horn. Anything of the earliest Armstrong era is vital and the quality is excellent. Jump in with both feet and know genius.

CD Reviews

Outstanding job by Sony on the Restoration
Doug - Haydn Fan | California | 02/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Louis Armstrong's early work is copiously documented and is quite rightly as readily available as such other early recording giants as Caruso. These recordings were not, however, as widely available as the Victors Caruso made in the two prior decades, and because of this the sound has always been subject to the vicissitudes of the condition of the originals being used to make the CD transfer. In the present case Sony has outdone itself with exemplary work, these sound to me quite the best versions of these performances I have yet heard.

If you know and like these works well enough to try another version then this CD should be something you will enjoy. Unlike the case with old opera recordings, which I know better, I don't have any of the originals of these, so I'm curious to see what other reviewers who are fortunate enough to be able to compare the CD with the originals think."
Historically Significant

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For those interested in owning historically significant recordings of early jazz, this CD is indespensible. I bought it to use in college music appreciation courses I teach. The sound quality will amaze you.
