Customer Reviews
 
Some of the greatest music in Jazz Rating: 5.0

I first listened to the Hot Five and Seven in my late teens (25 years ago), when I was new to Jazz, and haven't heard them much since. I got this CD recently and wonder why I left it so long to listen to them again. I think these recordings stand with the greatest ever made in Jazz. The works are fresh, innovative and original. I think Louis Armstrong is the greatest natural musician I have ever heard, and he is at the peak of his powers in these recordings. My favourites are Willie the Weeper and West End Blues, which is widely ranked as one of the most perfect recordings ever made in Jazz. I have nothing but superlatives for this CD !

 
Brilliant - but not exclusive enough Rating: 4.0

Some of the most important and beautiful recordings of the last century, but in spite of being entitled 'The Twenty-five Greatest Hot Fives and Hot Sevens', the CD includes six tracks which are by neither. The tracks are brilliant but there are other brilliant tracks by the Hot Five and Hot Seven that could have been included - off the top of my head - S.O.L. Blues, The Last Time and Ory's Creole Trombone among them. Otherwise a well-produced CD and a snip at the price.
