When you combine two of the most charismatic performers in all of jazz history on one album you know that you are on to a winner. This album did not disappoint. Ella's elegant, pristine and polished vocals contrast perfectly with the coarse, thick, rough edged vocals of Louis. I have recently come across an artist called Alison Burns on myspace whose music sounds very similar to that of Ella.

So often "the very best of" albums can be disappointing. That was not the case with this marvellous Satchmo compilation.

There are great duets, many of which have a really fresh immediate feel with bits of conversation and banter between the artists as they sing.

Loving and giving, what else do we need? Louis Armstrong gives us his audience a lasting feeling of happiness spiced with a momentary disappointment now and then in the muddle we all find us in. What a Wonderful World! And his song is the best song of the last Century.

Hot Fives and Sevens

1. These four CDs contain what are without question the finest recordings in all jazz

2. The remastering was done by the late John R T Davies who ought to have received a Nobel prize for his work

But, of course, you know this already, because you already own this box set. You don't?? WHY NOT???

It goes without saying, I trust, that any recording of these two artists performing together is simply wonderful stuff.
But I'd like to draw your attention to one track in particular. Stompin' At The Savoy was a rehearsal which the canny producer had the wit to record just in case something good happened. It happened. Backed by The Oscar Peterson Trio, the two singers launched into a jam that beggers belief. It's just astonishing that people can improvise this well. And the greatest pleeasure is that we can hear just how much they're enjoying it while it's happening. Blissful.
But every track is a pleasure. I warmly recommend this to you.
