Let's Do It: the Best of the Verve Years

CD-Charts > Music > Early Jazz
by: Louis Armstrong

Release Date October 16, 1995
Louis Armstrong has a stronger claim than anyone else to be considered the most important and influential figure in 20th century popular music (and he conveniently claimed to be, or believed he was, born in 1900). To put it as simply as possible: no Louis Armstrong, no popular singing as we know it. His work spans five decades, but rather than opt for a CD that takes in a bit of everything, I'd recommend this compilation, mostly from 1956-57, on Norman Granz's Verve Records. Why? because the early stuff, with his studio-assembled groups in the 1920s, is more for for the jazz buff - more instrumental than vocal - and although I like his big band stuff in the 1930s it's hit-and-miss in terms of the material recorded.

Ken Burns Jazz

CD-Charts > Music > Early Jazz
by: Fletcher Henderson

Release Date November 07, 2000
This is a fabulous sample of the arranging of the Henderson family. The sounds which became famous in many other big bands were developed under the name of Fletcher Henderson. I reckon that 'Hot & Anxious', the forerunner to 'In the Mood', is worth the price of the disk on its own!

If you like the big band sounds of the 1930s/40s this is a good collection to sample.
