This 10-CD set is as good a compendium of the genius of Louis Armstrong as anyone could wish for. It’s all here: the early years with the King Oliver and Fletcher Henderson bands, the glorious period of the Hot Fives and Sevens, the big band recordings of the Thirties, the collaborations with contemporaries such as Ella Fitzgerald.
Then there are the later recordings, when Satchmo’s celebrity empowered him to soar over many political and racial divides. There’s also a fascinating unreleased Hollywood Bowl concert from 1956, a CD of “out-takes” from recording sessions, and a revealing interview with Dan Morgenstern.
But it’s the sudden flowering of Armstrong’s genius in the mid Twenties that one keeps returning to. Passing from the recordings made with Joe “King” Oliver to the first Hot Fives session is like encountering a colour photo among a heap of black-and-whites.
All the much-anthologised classics like St Louis Blues are here, alongside lesser-known numbers which, if anything, are more revealing. The melancholy Blue Turning Grey Over You has a subtle, almost Ellington-like introduction, and Armstrong’s solos – vocal and instrumental – have a supple shapeliness.
