Free Music Review: A valuable, historic collection of tunes
Hit: 4 Stars
This 3-CD set is in my collection because I didn't have any Louis Armstrong or any Ella Fitzgerald at the time I bought it, so I envisioned my purchase of this compilation as a "two birds with one stone" sort of acquisition. I didn't know what to expect because, while I knew enough about the artists, I couldn't help but think any Louis Armstrong recording was going to bring on images of a hand-cranked Victrola and scratchy, one dimensional sound. This is anything but. The recordings are, for the most part, crisp and clear. No one will ever mistake them for modern recordings, but no music fan could turn his or her nose up at the more than adequate renderings achieved here. In addition to a lot of great Louis, great Ella, and some classic versions of a number of jazz and swing era standards, the third CD in the set includes all of Porgy and Bess. I consider this a great plus, not only because it gives you Ella, Louis and Gershwin, but also because I think it is better to have this classic version than have to weed through all the Broadway and "original cast" soundtracks to get all of Porgy and Bess on one recording. One thing I don't like about the set is the miniature "expand-a-folder" type cardboard case (like this Expo Expandable Organizer- Clear), which, while highly original, isn't all that useful and doesn't look good smack dab in the middle of my collection of CD cases. This is, however, a minor quibble. To be honest, since my music collection has grown so much over the past few months, I don't get this one down from the shelf nearly as often as I used to. Nonetheless, if you think you might love some classic jazz songs by classy jazz performers and your collection is lacking some Fitzgerald/Armstrong material, this might be a compilation that catches your fancy without breaking the bank. This also makes a perfect companion set to go with The Complete Ella Fitzgerald Song Books and The Hot Fives & Sevens, giving you all the Ella and Satchmo you'll ever need. I recommend all jazz fans grab this up without hesitation.
