1	What a Wonderful World (1968) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Helmed by legendary producer Bob Thiele, this 1968 recording ushered Louis Armstrong into his later days as a pop vocalist. Here, the trumpet that drove Armstrong's early Hot Fives and Sevens is more subdued as his familiar gravelly voice takes center stage. Showcasing the powerful title track as well as several cheery pop favorites, Armstrong's ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £6.49!
2	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ... see all copies from £3.08! new only from £7.82!
3	The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (1997) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years. Clearly, this set isn't of particular interest to hardcore collectors, since they'll already own much of the material, but as a sampler targeted at casual fans, this is quite nice indeed, since it ... see all copies from £5.38! new only from £6.91!
4	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The Definitive Collection devoted to Louis Armstrong takes a reverse chronological view of the pop giant's career, a format that functions surprisingly well considering its intended purpose. Beginning with his last major performance, 1967's "What a Wonderful World," the disc takes listeners on a 75-minute tour that pays closest attention to his ... see all copies from £5.64! new only from £6.98!
5	An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1931) more music like this by Various Artists This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ... see all copies from £6.72! new only from £18.01!
6	Great Records of the Decade: 40's Hits Pop, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Great Records of the Decade: '40s Hits Pop, Vol. 1 is a budget-line collection that features 13 hits from the '40s, including Bing Crosby's "Swingin' on a Star," Peggy Lee's "Manana," Judy Garland's "The Trolley Song," Johnny Mercer's "Personality" and the Andrews Sisters' "Rum and Coca-Cola" and "Don't Fence Me In." Although there's no particular ... see all copies from £6.17! new only from £6.17!
7	Best of Bond...James Bond: 40th Anniversary Edition (2002) more music like this by Various Artists One of the signature aspects of a James Bond movie is its theme song, and, as demonstrated on this collection of those songs, there is a remarkable consistency to them. 1962's Dr. No, the first Bond film, featured Monty Norman's "James Bond Theme," a distinctive instrumental piece that has figured in every Bond picture since and that leads off the ... see all copies from £12.06! new only from £12.06!
8	Somewhere Over the Rainbow: The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals (2002) more music like this by Various Artists As part of its pact with Turner Entertainment, which controls the vaults of several of the great movie studios, Rhino Records has issued many compilations of soundtrack material from the movie musicals of the 1930s to the 1960s. Somewhere Over the Rainbow: The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals is an attempt to present the musical highlights of the ... see all copies from £9.40! new only from £11.67!
9	20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection: The Best of Louis Armstrong (2003) more music like this by Louis Armstrong & Friends Louis Armstrong & Friends' Christmas Collection is a lot of fun. Along with Satchmo, the represented artists on this 14-song collection include Dinah Washington, Mel Tormé, Peggy Lee, Lionel Hampton, Eartha Kitt, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, and Louis Jordan. While the main focus is on hipster tunes like "Cool Yule," "Merry Christmas, Baby," "May ... see all copies from £6.36! new only from £6.36!
10	All-Time Greatest Hits (1949) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The 18 tracks on All-Time Greatest Hits come from Louis Armstrong's "pop" era, the final decades of his career where, under the tutelage of producer Milt Gabler and arranger Gordon Jenkins, the jazz pioneer moved full-bore into a genial form of heavily orchestrated pop music. The Armstrong of this era, a large, bear-like man with an infectious ... see all copies from £5.46!
11 view cover	Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy (1954) more music like this by Louis Armstrong and His All-Stars This recording was not only Louis Armstrong's finest record of the 1950s but one of the truly classic jazz sets. Out of print for years, it was reissued quite shoddily in 1986 on a Columbia CD with alternates in place of many of the original versions and no real explanation. It was a complete and inexcusable mess and should be avoided by all but ... see all copies from £5.36! new only from £5.36!
12 view cover	My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this by Various Artists One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ... see all copies from £5.16! new only from £10.78!
13 view cover	Porgy & Bess (1957) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong Producer Norman Granz oversaw two Porgy & Bess projects. The first involved Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, and came together during the autumn of 1957 with brassy big band and lush orchestral arrangements by Russ Garcia. This is the classic Verve Porgy & Bess, and it's been reissued many, many times. The second, recorded during the spring ... see all copies from £6.77! new only from £6.77!
14 view cover	Hello, Dolly! (1963) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Louis Armstrong's commercial resurgence with the song "Hello, Dolly!" -- a number one hit that unseated the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" from the top spot -- came as such a surprise that Kapp Records hastened to produce an album to go along with it. The resulting long-player, appropriately titled Hello, Dolly!, also went to number one and produced ... see all copies from £3.03! new only from £10.52!
15 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Louis Armstrong (1949) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around -- well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line ... see all copies from £3.07! new only from £5.44!
16 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Louis Armstrong In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from £2.85! new only from £8.30!
17 view cover	The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five and Seven Recordings (2002) more music like this by Louis Armstrong The most important musician of the century past has had a trumpet-load of retrospectives appear since the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2001, and few are more brisk, enjoyable, shot full of goofy energy, and essential than the remastered reissue of The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five and Seven Recordings box set. The box is four CDs of ... see all copies from £5.63! new only from £5.63!
18 view cover	Night and Day, Vol. 2: Songbook (1991) more music like this by Cole Porter see all copies from £3.41! new only from £5.46!
19 view cover	Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ... see all copies from £1.83! new only from £10.87!
20 view cover	Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong for Lovers (2005) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong Part of Verve's extensive For Lovers series, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong for Lovers features timeless duets from the '50s including "Nearness of You," "Stars Fell on Alabama," "Moonlight in Vermont," and "Dream a Little Dream of Me." There are plenty of Ella and Louis compilations out there, all of which are fairly good. This one is no ... see all copies from £7.11! new only from £8.40!
21 view cover	Season's Greetings: 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Universal Music Group's 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection, usually devoted to mid-priced single-disc best-ofs of individual artists, here expands to a three-disc compilation of seasonal music drawn from the label's extensive catalog. Season's Greetings is a sort of rough history of holiday music, starting with Bing Crosby's "White ... see all copies from £7.80! new only from £15.87!
22 view cover	The Ultimate Collection [Verve] (2000) more music like this by Louis Armstrong Covering over 50 years of Louis Armstrong's career, this three-CD set from the Verve archives starts in the juke joints and speakeasies of the '20s and ends up documenting his pop hits of the '60s. Chronicling the achievements of a prolific and diverse performer of Anderson's caliber is difficult, but this release gives a strong, broad overview of ... see all copies from £14.54! new only from £14.54!
23 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the 60's (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The Best Of The '60s: The Millennium Collection attempts to capture the decade in a dozen songs, including Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," the Angels' "My Boyfriend's Back," and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World." Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me," the Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'," the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love," and Joe Cocker ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £3.75!
24 view cover	Sing America (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Sing America is a benefit album for Save America's Treasures, an institution that intends to preserve "our nation's glorious heritage -- our monuments, parks, archives and landmarks...from sea to shining sea." Since it's such a good cause, it's hard to criticize an album as weirdly incoherent as this. Any record that opens with Leonard Bernstein's ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £8.39!
25 view cover	Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong (2006) more music like this by Louis Armstrong No other American musician had the sustained impact on pop music that Louis Armstrong had, who not only charted hits for forty some years beginning in the '20s and running through the '60s, but also completely revolutionized the very way pop material is delivered, both as the absolute ground zero for jazz trumpet and as a singer whose horn man's ... see all copies from £7.20! new only from £23.98!
