Hot Fives & Sevens is a 2000 box set collection of recordings made by American jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong with his Hot Five, Hot Seven, and other groups between 1925 and 1930. First released on JSP Records on 22 August 2000, the set was subsequently reissued on Definitive in 2001. A four-disc compilation, the set has received a "crown" as an author's pick in The Penguin Guide to Jazz and is also included in the book's "core collection" recommended for jazz fans.[2] AllMusic concurs that it is "beyond indispensable", adding that "you can't have a Louis Armstrong collection without this historic set" or "any kind of respectable jazz collection." - Wikipedia

The songs from High Society are SUCH a mixed bag.

Louis Armstrong makes everything he touches gold.

Frank's two ballads, "You're Sensational" and "Mind If I Make Love To You" are insufferably insipid, and frankly I don't know how the second got past the Hays Code.

"True Love" has an exquisitely delicious melody, but the lyrics are saccharine and meh.

"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" puts a grin on your face, and "Did You Ever" is unquestionably the show-stopper.

"Now You Have (Has?) Jazz" is an ACTUAL BOP and Bing is adorably fun but also impossibly square.

Introduced Littlest to CDs and Louis Armstrong last night.

The way this kid loves music brings me so much joy.

Musical Interlude: Well, folks seemed to like yesterday's sample of Satchmo, so I thought I'd post another for fun. Here's a great tribute to his hometown.

"Christmas in New Orleans," performed by Louis Armstrong, with Benny Carter and His Orchestra.

Louis Armstrong always said he was born on July 4th, 1900, but many jazz scholars now say his actual date of birth was August 4th, 1901. But the real truth is that Louis sounds great on any date! Pops is tops, and we'll hear why with an hour of Armstrong on this week's Crescent City Connection, Saturday at 10am eastern (9 central) on the Rock'n'Soul Radio stream from @WFMU.
