Reviews"...He redefined what was possible in improvised jazz melody and jazz singing. These sides are to jazz what Chaucer is to literature...", 5 stars out of 5 - "...Documents the crucial early steps of Armstrong's journey....with his knack for generating soaring melodies, his ability to make his enthusiasm for everything he played feel contagious...and the order in which he got things done...", "...Spectacular....the music has been remastered and adjusted so that the material plays at the same pitch it was originally recorded....A quality package of some of jazz's most important recordings.", 3.5 records of 5 - "...Reveals why Armstrong was jazz's first superstar. The versatile arrangements, brilliant songwriting, exquisite hornplay, and passionate vocal delivery on this set laid the foundation for modern music...", Ranked #1 in Ew's Top 3 Jazz Albums of 2000-"...Utterly Indispensable...", "...The Rosetta Stone of jazz....We witness Armstrong transforming jazz from attractive folk music performed by collectives into art music energized by the creative power of one man's intuitive ability to make it swing..."
