About this album

This Louis Armstrong compilation showcases the exuberant early jazz that made him a foundational figure in American music. Drawing on performances such as Tiger Rag, Muskrat Ramble, Basin Street Blues and St. James Infirmary, it reflects Armstrong’s gift for turning New Orleans ensemble playing into something personal, rhythmic and instantly memorable. By the late 1960s, collections like this helped reaffirm his place not just as a virtuoso trumpeter, but as one of the great popular stylists of the century. The ragtime-tinged selections also underline how broadly his influence reached across jazz’s early history.
