Yes, I love this CD also. I play 'Mack the Knife' off of this CD a lot, it's a great version and not as cheesy as some other versions. I also like Mahogany Hall Stomp.lipi wrote:my favourite cd right now is louis armstrong's "mack the knife", live from newport, 1957. i think it's been mentioned here before. it has the most wonderful version of "now you has jazz".

Here's one that should be in everyone's collection:
Summit Meetings 1939-50 - Metronome All Stars/Esquire All Stars - Fremeaux & Associes
Blue Lou, a distinct version of One O'Clock Jump, All Star Strut, a great Basie tune Royal Flush, a bunch of good small group "Esquire" tunes, including Boff Boff. The topper has to be my favorite version of Bugle Call Rag. It's pretty much the classic Goodman arrangement, but played so clean, tight and rockin'.
The second disc I don't really listen to, but if anyone knows of another collection that has just the first disc's worth, I'd love to know.

Eventhough it is a classic and most of you already knows it, I would add to the list(for the new comers):
The Oscar Peterson Trio - Night Train

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm going to be coming back here whenever I have the money and inclination to buy CDs.

It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.

In looking around for other versions of "They All Laughed" I ran across this:1937: Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra
Who'da thought the old guy could swing?
I ended up buying this one and "Jersey Five" and play tunes off of them at our weekly mixed tempo night in Milwaukee at Hot Water!

A local band Blue Sky 5 has a nice version on their new cd, Tin Goose Jump.Lars wrote:In looking around for other versions of "They All Laughed" I ran across this:1937: Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra
It has some other good songs too. I played some of their songs last week at DCLX.
