Louis Armstrong - All-Time Greatest Hits CD front cover

There is a simple pleasure in pulling a CD like All-Time Greatest Hits off the shelf, opening the case and reading the credits before the music starts. This one comes from Louis Armstrong. It came out in 1994 on MCA Records. A little about the artist, from Louis Armstrong’s Discogs profile: “American jazz trumpeter, cornetist, singer and bandleader, nicknamed "Satchmo" or "Pops". Along with Fletcher Henderson he was the instigator of the second wave of jazz, Swing. Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990 (Early Influence).”

There are 18 tracks here, from “WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD” all the way to “WHEN IT'S SLEEPY TIME DOWN SOUTH”. Jazz on record captures players listening and answering each other in the moment. Production is credited to Andy McKaie.

If “WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD” is a song you already love, this is an easy way to have the whole album on your shelf. Our copy is in Near Mint (NM or M-) condition and is priced at $2.99. Tap the button below to see the photos and order it.
