2008 four CD set. The Original Masters series presents some of the finest recordings by many of the true Jazz legends originally signed to the RCA and Sony labels. With hits, favorites, album tracks, rarities and more, these collections are solid samplers for the aficionados and astounding introductions to those interested in investigating the roots of Jazz. This collection from the famed trumpet virtuoso and his Hot Five and Hot Seven outfits features 80 tracks including ' Struttin' With Some Barbecue', 'Got No Blues', 'Gut Bucket Blues', 'Fireworks' and many others. Sony/BMG.

I'm giving this budget-priced CD-box 5 stars because it contains some of the most important recordings in the entire history of jazz:

Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens; the foundation on which Armstrong's reputation stands - at least if you ask jazz fans... Satchmo, Johnny Dodds, Earl Hines, Zutty Singleton and company (including the magnificent guest Lonnie Johnson on guitar) create some wonderful stuff and additional tracks by same artists in different settings is thrown in to make the cake richer (although some gigs - accompanying inferior singer f.i. - are not very uplifting).
