Louis Armstrong: The Very Best Of Louis Armstrong version on 2CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Universal year 2002.

After World War II ended and swing orchestras were pushed by the support of the troops, the jazz world began to change fundamentally. New currents from Harlem and 52nd Street popularized bebop, but Armstrong remained the old lion of the traditional style. His 1949 song "Blueberry Hill" put him on the American charts and on the cover of Time magazine. Even the critical readers of the acclaimed scenic magazine Down Beat took a liking to him, and in 1952 voted him "the most important musical personality of all time." On the one hand, Satchmo became a leading figure in New Orleans revival, on the other hand, he managed to maintain his artistic integrity with albums he released with, for example, Ella Fitzgerald ("Ella & Louis", 1956) and Oscar Peterson ("LA meets OP", 1957). He made guest appearances at the Newport Festival in 1957 and 1958, topped the charts with hits such as "Hello Dolly" (1964) and "What A Wonderful World" (1968), and despite several heart failures in 1959, 1968, and the spring of 1971, remained almost continuously active. Louis Armstrong died in his sleep in New York City on July 6, 1971. Along with him, one of jazz's most important integrators and mentors, whose person and work continue to fascinate people around the world today, said goodbye to the stage.

Album spans genres Pop, Blues, Jazz, Vocal, Big Band, Swing and Dixieland.
