Title: This is my wake up music - it's a happy thing to wake up to
Review: I have an alarm app (from Amazon) called Alarm Clock Xtreme - I highly recommend, I paid for it, it's that good. I wake up to a random song from this album everyday, never fails to have me humming all morning - this morning "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" one of my favs. That gravely voice, that trumpet...never fails to wake me up happy. 🙂

Title: Da good stuff ---
Review: I am often amused by how seriously some folks write these reviews. Considering Mr. Armstrong's long career, isn't it a bit foolish to think any one album could have ALL his best -- just marketing hype. DUDE! take things in stride (more like ... all the best tracks MCA had that didn't cost that much to include ... huh?).What can be said for sure is that there are many tasty numbers on this CD. I GET IDEAS is a really cute tune - paying great homage to how much a talented songwriter AND performer can "SAY" about human "relations" (if you will) without actually saying anything. Another less known treasure on this disk is THE DUMMY SONG. Really shows LA's playful side as does his take on that early 1900's hit CHLOE which has oft been lampooned for its overt sentimentality (think of it as the "Feelings" of the WWI era). Louie does a great job walking the fine line that makes for a great performance -- at one point he actually answers the chorus' baleful cries of "Chloe? Chloe?" . Check out Spike Jones for another classic "interpretation" of this old, old standard.Seems to me the criteria that might have been used to pick these recordings were:1. Lush orchestrations - most all these have those 50's string orchestral sounds you might hear behind Steve Lawrence, Judy Garland, Tony Bennet etc. IMHO very classic and tasteful stuff.2. Good recordings - All the recordings are of "modern" quality.3. Middle-of-the-Road - Everything here is G-rated and not even mildly controversial.These criteria result in a "packaged" sound perhaps, but nice-to-da-ears. To round things out you will need earlier recordings with more bluesy material that have more of a anxious and raw edge. Look for one with BLACK AND BLUE (one of my all-time LA fabes) It will serve as a good marker for a "different" set of tunes.

Title: Amazing CD; the definitive greatest hits
Review: Armstrong ("Satchmo") is always great but this collection catches him somewhat older, wiser, and with a merry twinkle in his eyes. The recording quality is decent (being from the 1950s). Armstrong recorded a million interpretations of each jazz standard but this CD does capture some of the best ever. Warning: after you've heard this CD a few times, you fall in love with these versions so much that every other version out there ---by whichever artist---will always seem to fall short. My personal favorite is the stunning La Vi en Rose. If heaven has any background music playing, this must be it.

Review: I grew up listening to this as a child, my father is a WWII veteran who just turned 90 years old. He met Louis while doing a story for the local newspaper in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1951. My father fell in love with the music and the man after that. He made many trips to Louisiana and actually was on a first name basis with Louis. This CD is fantastic and reminds me of the 5 hour car rides that would pass-by in what seemed like mere minutes while listening to my fathers collection of Louis' fantastic collection.

Review: I think this is one of the best compilations made of Louis Armstrong songs. It includes all the classics and if you were to buy just one Louis Armstrong CD this should be it.
