Louis Armstrong: The Hot Fives

Louis Armstrong: The Hot Fives "The records by Louis Armstrong and His Five–and later, Hot Seven–are the most influential in jazz. Armstrong’s improvised solos transformed jazz from an ensemble-based music into a soloist’s art, while his expressive vocals incorporated innovative bursts of scat singing and an underlying swing feel." The Louis Armstrong Museum.

The greatest benefit to being alive now is having access to all the past recordings and knowing which ones to really focus on.
