 Rating:  - Not for everybody, butEven though I given this a Five Star rating, I know that not everyone has the capacity to like Satchmo. However, for those music lovers who love the blues, love classics, and love pioneers of great music, this is an awesome collection from a great artist. The majority of adults that I know have heard "What a Wonderful World". Even if it was a remake version, it is a great song.

EVERY BIG HIT AND RARE TRACKS AND EVERY THING IN BETWEEN IS ON THESE CDS. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. PERFECT. |
