If you could have only one Satchmo

Do you dabble in several genres? Do you have a couple Miles Davis and Coltrane titles in the jazz section of your collection? Do you have a turntable?

I just received Classic Records' 45 Series special two-sided pressing of Satchmo Plays King Oliver w/St. James Infirmary and I Ain't Got Nobody and WOW does it blow my socks off. I think the whole album is like $50.00 and now I wish I had gotten it. I highly recommend this special two-sided pressing (for around $13), especially for those who dabble in jazz but prefer some other genre.

I sat my wife down and had her listen to St. James Infirmary and when it was over she exhaled like she had been holding her breath the whole time. I usually don't bother her with my music.

That sounds very interesting.

Can't beat Satchmo for getting every once of emotion out of any song he does. The only "modern" musician/singer that comes close IMHO would be Joe Cocker when he's on his game.

Acoustic Sounds has it too. Music Direct's price is lower, but Acoustic Sounds' shipping charges are generally cheaper.

Hard question. I have a moderate sized stack of Louie Armstrong records at home, even a couple albums full of 78s. But, I don't have much that would really be considered definitive, except the Hot 5s and 7s box, which would certainly be in the running I'd guess.

But, ya know, the one I probably play more than any of the rest is the one where he does nothing but covers of Fats Waller called Satch Plays Fats.

I also play the good ol' Verve Greatest Hits a ton.

And, of course, Ella & Louis always hits the spot...

I doubt I'd spring for the 45 RPM stuff, but I may have to hunt down a copy of Satchmo Plays King Oliver sometime.

Unfortunately, I'm landlocked in the midwest, St. Louis. And, I know those suckers are way too heavy to ship en masse. But, thanks for offering 'em up.
