Louis Armstrong – The Hot Fives, Vol. 1 (1926)

The Louis Armstrong Hot Five and Hot Seven Sessions were recorded between 1925 and 1928 by Louis Armstrong with his Hot Five and Hot Seven groups. According to the National Recording Registry, “Louis Armstrong was jazz’s first great soloist and is among American music’s most important and influential figures. These sessions, his solos in particular, set a standard musicians still strive to equal in their beauty and innovation.” These recordings were added to the National Recording Registry in 2002, the first year of the institution’s existence.

Ron Wynn and Bruce Boyd Raeburn, writing for the All Music Guide to Jazz, note that “these recordings radically altered jazz’s focus; instead of collective playing, Armstrong’s spectacular instrumental (and vocal) improvisations redefined the music.” Armstrong helped popularize scat singing in “Heebie Jeebies,” and his solo on “Potato Head Blues” helped establish the stop-time technique in jazz.

Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall (1963)

At Carnegie Hall is a jazz live album by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. It was recorded at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York City on Friday, February 22, 1963. Critic Thom Jurek described it as “one of the great live jazz albums of the 1960s”. Critic Jim Santella wrote, “This is timeless music from a classic ensemble. Goosebumps are guaranteed.”

Ironically, original expectations for the concert were low. Not only was drummer Joe Morello recovering from a case of the flu at the time, but New York had been suffering from a newspaper strike, and the group was worried that the attendance would be sparse. The worries were groundless: the hall was full.

The original LP had several songs edited (most notably, both “For All We Know” and “Castilian Drums” by over four minutes each), several stage introductions removed and “It’s a Raggy Waltz” moved to side 4 due to the time constraints of vinyl LPs. All of these issues were corrected in the 2001 Columbia/Legacy 2CD reissue. The liner notes (by George Simon, jazz critic for the New York Herald Tribune) include extensive comments by Brubeck on each selection.
