From: Amazon Posted: Jun 14, 2008 Type: User Review Not for everybody, but

Even though I given this a Five Star rating, I know that not everyone has the capacity to like Satchmo. However, for those music lovers who love the blues, love classics, and love pioneers of great music, this is an awesome collection from a great...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 03, 2008 Type: User Review Louis Armstrong At His Best!

Of all the CDs I have purchased through Amazon.com, this is by far one of the top two or three I have enjoyed the most. It's Louis at his best. Anyone who even "likes" Armstrong would have a hard time denying this might be his best album ever....

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 14, 2008 Type: User Review Corny baloney

For someone purported to be one of the best jazz artist (innovative, versatile) this disk is hokey and corny. "Definitive" fluff la la la la la bull craap.

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 07, 2008 Type: User Review The (Far From Being) Definative Louis Armstrong

It's an OK album of his later stuff, but in NO WAY is it definative (to have a REAL greatest hits album, you'd need to put it on at least 6 discs). The people at Hip-O had a lot of nerve calling this "Definative". This doesn't even come close to...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 08, 2008 Type: User Review Louis sold his songs without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!

This single CD retrospective of artistry by the immortal Louis Armstrong is a keeper for his fans. The quality of the sound is good and I like the tracks on this disc. Sure, it's far from all of his best; but as a single CD retrospective this...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 02, 2008 Type: User Review Good intro to jazz

I think this is an excellent album for someone who wants an easy-to-get-into introduction to jazz. It contains Louis' later hits, like Hello Dolly! which knocked the Beatles off the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 list in 1964 and made Louis...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 04, 2007 Type: User Review Pop star Satchmo

Naturally, if you are one of the vast numbers of Satchmo's pop followers, you'll find everything you need on this volume ("What a Wonderful World", "Cabaret", "Hello Dolly", "Blueberry Hill"...), but if you're more of a jazz fan and you buy this...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 24, 2007 Type: User Review The Definitive Collection - Louis Armstrong

I like it very much. I bought it for the song, "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans". I miss New Orleans because of good memories of being there and I very much enjoy his rendition of it and other songs he does on the cd. It's...
