CD Reviews

Not the best

Duncan Grover | Lancing, West Sussex United Kingdom | 03/28/2000

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Despite the title this album certainly does not represent the best of Louis Armstrong. Even with the songs for which Armstrong was most famous such as "Blueberry Hill" and "Mack the Knife" there are far better recordings available elsewhere. There are a few songs which are not often included in compilations such as "Frankie and Johnny" but this is not an album I would recommend either to someone with a casual interest in Louis Armstrong or to a serious collector."
