Recorded for Decca between 1949 and 1953, the warm flavor of Satchmo's vocals and trumpet comes through directly. His humorous singing style is great, but listening to types like track 3 is particularly moving. [Track Listing] 1. I Get an Idea 2. Kiss of Dreams 3. Cold Cold Heart 4. Because of You 5. I'm Alone 6. Sad Blessing 7. La Vie en Rose 8. C'est Si Bon 9. Maybe It's Because 10. Keep the Fire Burning 11. Don't Lose This Dream 12. Sitting in the Sun 13. Blueberry Hill 14.

In 1923, he joined King Oliver's orchestra and made his first recording. Later, he formed his own band, the Hot Five, in Chicago. He made numerous recordings and achieved worldwide popularity, including European tours. In the 1950s, songs like "La Vie en Rose" and "Kiss of Fire" became hits. In 1967, he released the global hit "What a Wonderful World." His highly technical trumpet playing and soft, husky vocals and scat singing were loved by many. He visited Japan three times: in 1953, 1963, and 1964. He died on July 6, 1971, at the age of 69. Media reviews and other comments: Recorded for Decca between 1949 and 1953, Satchmo's vocals and trumpet convey a warm, straightforward flavor. While his humorous singing style is good, listening to songs like "Cold, Cold Heart" is particularly moving. (C)RS
