"How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!" (Psalm 89:15) This album is joyful--even the songs with titles like "Melancholy."
People always talk about what a great genius Louis Armstrong was and how spectacular his music is--and while I'm not one for buying into advance praise--I am forced to admit after listening to the first two volumes of the Hot Fives and Sevens...this is darn good music. Armstrong is awesome. The music is fun. It is played just right.
For some reason I prefer volume two over volume one. Volume two is filled with so many great songs...songs like "Big Butter and Egg Man," "Alligator Crawl," and the afore mentioned "Melancholy" give this volume a slight edge over its predecessor. This stuff is great.
I recommend "Hot Fives & Hot Sevens Volume Two" highly and look forward to hearing the last two volumes.
JSP's remastering of these 1920's tracks is terrific! Liner notes include master numbers, personnel, and dates. Tip : Spring for the JSP box set "Hot Fives and Sevens", which is all four volumes in this series in a slip-case at less than half the price of the individual parts.
This purchase of Louis Armstrong is absolutely wonderful. I am part of "gray" America but grew up listening to this kind of music. When I saw this selection I just had to buy it as it brought back many wonderful memories. In 1955 or'56 I had the pleasure of hearing him live in New York City, now I can listen to him on the go!
