Louis Armstrong - Verve's Choice: The Best Of Louis Armstrong (1963)
Jazz master, Louis Armstrong needs no introduction. His hoarse voice & unmistakable trumpet has really stood the test of time. This is a "Best of" album. Verve records put out four of these Verve's Choice releases in a row back in the day, including Mel Torme, Gene Krupa, Count Basie & Louis Armstrong to go along with an earlier Ella Fitzgerald release. The highlight of this one is the 8:35 minute song Let's Do It. It takes up half of side two & probably could go twice as long if given more time to improvise. That's the great thing about Louis Armstrong, once he starts going you never want it to stop.
