For the greatest art -- any genre -- from the greatest American artist
of all -- any genre -- get the 4-disk Louis Armstrong boxed set,
"Portrait of the Artist as a Young Mna." Either that or the Hot 5 and
Hot 7 collections, but I'd go for "Portrait," which also includes some
of the Armstrong Orchestra cuts from the 30s, which some say are
inferior to the Hot 5/Hot 7 cuts, but they aren't.
