The Essential Louis Armstrong opens his musical odyssey with his first recordings in the early 1920s, through several fascinating performances as a sideman with female Classic Blues singers, up to his finest creative peaks leading the inimitable Hot Five and Hot Seven small groups. CD 2 continues through his associations with Earl Hines, Don Redman and Jack Teagarden, often in the larger ensembles prevalent in the 30s, up to the immortal All Stars line-ups which began in the late 40s and provided his most inspired setting for the rest of his remarkable career. 45 total tracks.
