Louis Armstrong Hot Five - Wild Man Blues download song

Among the best recordings in the History of Jazz!

Earl Hines was not needed for this recording, which contains just two brilliant solo choruses - a jazz masterpiece.

The thing is that Armstrong's trumpet is a voice!

this was the last song played in the movie the newton boys, thats how i found it great song

This is as good a reason as any why Miles Davis said, "You can't do anything on a horn that Louis Armstrong hasn't done."    Meanwhile,  Johnny Dodds never got enough acclaim.

So much talent God saw fit to endow this humble man with.

Immortal theme with lots of twists and tangles!

Useless to say what this piece represent in jazz music, what I mean is to consider the Louis performance compared to the many that recorded this; the difference is paradossal!

This is actually as great a classic piece as any, ever. The best of jazz from the hearts, minds and souls of jazz greats is superb art, and Louis was above the greats and beyond category. I can Imagine (just a fantasy) that Bach, Beethoven, Bizet, all the souls with drive, imagination. respect, would praise him for what he did for musical art.

America's classic music. Jazz. So proud of our music and our classic musicians.

I play trumpet, and its just a high Bb, not particularly hard to play, What amazes the trumpet player in me is his phrasing. Just rich in tone and flowing melodies that create lines of motion that just seem as if they a perfectly put together. A true trumpeter that will live on in the minds of modern Jazz players for many years to come.

This brings back GREAT memories, old friends, simpler times(or so we thought) (:

* Whoever hit dislike here has a dead soul! Satchmo man! WTF?!

wow... this should have a million views at the least. come on guys, america's music.

One of the greatest, for sure -- when the master was at the height of his technical powers. You can hear figures in Louis' solo that anticipate the renowned "West End Blues" cadenza. Dodds' spot is the perfect follow-up; together they formed a powerful one-two punch.

This is to my mind the most exciting solo Louis ever played. It's high wire stuff and you will him to get through safely. We needn't have worried of course. How is music like this forgotten now?

This here Wildman gets da blues too!

The greatest - can't be surpassed, thank you.
