| | Legendary Louis Armstrong CD Louis Armstrong Discography of CDs
Legendary Louis Armstrong is a budget comp of Louis Armstrong tunes from Sony. Ten tracks recorded in the '50s when Armstrong was at his absolute zenith in popularity. Don't look for any Hot Five or Hot Seven material here, but that's simply fine. These performances are not only solid, but some of them -- "Back O' Town Blues" for instance -- are revelatory. ~ Thom Jurek
Sony Special Products' Legendary Louis Armstrong is an eight track sampler of his ... well, his legendary recordings for Columbia Records. There are certainly a number of oversights in the selection, but that's the way things are with budget line collections like this. The reality is, Armstrong's catalog is so strong that it is still engaging in haphazardly assembled collections such as this. Sure, collectors and purists will have little use for this, but curious listeners on a strict budget should enjoy this disc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Features 10 tracks including these top selling hits 'I Gotta A Right To Sing The Blues', 'St. Louis Blues' and 'St. James Infirmary'. Collectables. 2004. Legendary Louis Armstrong Music Legendary Louis Armstrong Songs Legendary Louis Armstrong Music Legendary Louis Armstrong Review

Legendary Louis Armstrong album
 $14.80    
With The Fall, Norah Jones completes the transition away from her smooth cabaret beginnings and toward a mellowly arty, modern singer/songwriter. Jones began this shift on 2007's Not Too Late, an album that gently rejected her tendencies for lulling, tasteful crooning, but The Fall is a stronger, more cohesive work, maintaining an elegantly dreamy state that's faithful to the crooner of Come Away with Me while feeling decidedly less classicist. Some of this could be attributed to Jones' choice of producer, Jacquire King, best-known for his work with Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, but King hardly pushes Norah in a rock direction; The Fall does bear some mild echoes of Fiona Apple or Aimee Mann in ballad mode, ...
| | Harry Connick, Jr Your Songs CD (2009)
Legendary Louis Armstrong CD music
$10.99  
Much like 2001's SONGS I HEARD and 2004's ONLY YOU, 2009's YOUR SONGS finds vocalist/pianist Harry Connick, Jr. coming up with an urbane, passionate set of American popular standards and contemporary pop classics that he both performs and orchestrates. While his previous recordings leaned toward the classicist side--ONLY YOU featured songs of the '50s and '60s--YOUR SONGS features a more eclectic mix of standards and pop songs, with Connick's own lush orchestration lending an overall aesthetic of languid romanticism. To this end, Connick turns Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" into a kind of Herb Alpert-inspired '60s pop nugget and, conversely, the Beatles' 1964 classic "And I Love Her" gets a kind of '70s Latin lounge feel with classical guitar flourishes. However, ...

Legendary Louis Armstrong album

Abby is bassist and singer Abigail Aronson; Norm is her husband Norman Zocher. Aided by pianist Bevan Manson and drummer Brooke Sofferman, Abby & Norm make some of the warmest, most approachable, and yet still interesting and complex small-ensemble jazz you'll ever hear. This despite the fact that both Abby and Norm are genuine jazz academics, a position that doesn't always bode well for approachability and warmth. Their debut album consists entirely of beautifully realized Zocher originals ...

Legendary Louis Armstrong music CDs
$12.39 
A few years prior to this release, veteran touring sideman Steve Grove (Richard Marx, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner) decided to stop hitting the road with pop legends to focus on his smooth jazz career. Despite securing a definite toehold for himself in the sax-heavy genre on the basis of a handful of hit radio singles, he ran into a roadblock with his previous label and jumped ship for the smaller but artist-friendly Narada Jazz. The fact that he's still committed to Livin' Large as a smoothie is reflected in his continued dedication to making picture-perfect sax records like this one. His trademark sound is horn texturing at just the right spots and sometimes on the hook of the song (a notion from his Tower of Power days, no doubt), as on the title track, which features some of his most muscular playing ever, or the midtempo funk of "XXL." Groove always offers a balance between the aggressive and romantic, and here finds the perfect blend on the retro-soul-inspired breathy moods of "Take You Higher" and "Too Cool." Producer Paul Brown (who produced tracks on Groove's first two albums) helps him find the '70s pop-soul vibe throughout, an influence directly addressed on the opening track, a shuffle groove cover of James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" and Sly Stone's "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)," presented in two versions, one instrumental and one with an autobiographical rap. Each has a party atmosphere, a slow-burning funk edge, and generous servings of that snazzy horn texturing. Groove intends his title to mean the idea of embracing life in general, but it also applies to the energy and appeal of this solid collection. ~ Jonathan Widran
