Free Music Notes for The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings

Free Music Review: One More Time
Hit: 5 Stars

In college, I took a course in the philosophy of the "Modern." Our first assignment was to define "modern," and I borrowed a friend's tape recorder and copied "Potato Head Blues" from my Columbia LP. To the spool I attached a note that said "Listen to the improvised solo, and then listen again." My professor --a sculptor as well as an academic-- returned the spool with his own note that said I kept him from doing any work for two hours, because all he could do was play it over and over again. In fact, that is precisely what happened to me when I heard that unbelievable track for the first time.

This is the seminal music of the most important musician of the Twentieth Century. He is joined by colleagues who on their own were most-highly- regarded, but especially for younger folk, who only knew Armstrong as the artist-entertainer or amazingly popular singer of songs often with only middling value, here is the humble revolutionary. Armstrong takes what he learned and simply transforms it into a unique, lasting idiom --nothing less than that. He defines the standards of jazz forever, and he does it so completely that you will be thunderstruck.

He invents popular singing, he leads an intensely swinging series of groups, and most of all he plays trumpet. Technically, he may have been the greatest player of his instrument ever --no matter the category of music. But his improvisations soar with a simplicity that goes to the marrow of art.

One critic has called architecture "frozen music," and Armstrong's solos, and forgive me if I just hear "Potato Head" over and over in my mind as I write, are perfectly defined as "liquid architecture."

And now, if you will excuse me, I think I will listen to some music...again...and again....

The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings Poster

Everybody knows Louis Armstrong--even if it's just for his heart-pleasing renditions of "Hello Dolly" and "What a Wonderful World." Well, this four-CD box set marking the 100th anniversary of his birth--give or take a year--contains some of his most groundbreaking, historic works. Recorded between 1925 and 1929, the Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings find Armstrong with more than able cohorts, including pianists Earl "Fatha" Hines and Lillian Hardin (Armstrong's second wife), clarinetist-saxophonist Johnny Dodds, and trombonist Kid Ory. Recorded when Armstrong was emerging from the influence of his idol, Joe "King" Oliver, these sides feature the main staples of the Armstrong canon, including "Potato Head Blues," "Big Butter and Egg Man," "Cornet Chop Suey" and the Armstrong-Hines duet "Weather Bird." The jewel of the collection is "West End Blues," with Armstrong's stratospheric, pyramid-structured solo, which ranks as one of the greatest in the history of music. The sessions also mark an important technological breakthrough, with the transition from acoustic to electrical recording.

Armstrong's virtuosity on the cornet and trumpet alone would have been enough to ensure his fame. On the 1927 song "Heebie Jeebies," he forgot the lyrics and scatted them and became the first jazz singer, paving the way for Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and Betty Carter. All in all, this set shows that Louis Armstrong's heroic talents enabled him to become the alpha and omega of 20th century music. As author Robert O'Meally, who wrote the superb liner notes to this well-packaged collection, puts it, "like Chaucer's poetry, which virtually begins the process of codifying the English language as a medium for sophisticated versification, Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens provide a wide launching pad from which the history of the art of jazz takes flight." --Eugene Holley Jr.
