Notes
"Louis Armstrong's extraordinary early work, captured on this 10-CD set, forms the wellspring of jazz and much of American popular music, the source from which all that followed drew direction and inspiration.Armstrong's revolutionary trumpet playing and singing transformed jazz into high art. His natural hipness combined with the joie de vivre and endearing humanism that permeates all his music, kept Armstrong a beloved representative for American and its arts over the course of his lifetime."
