Genre: Jazz

Louis Armstrong isn't just that guy who sang "What a Wonderful World." He also happens to be one of the most important musicians in the history of jazz. He practically invented the improvised solo, and popularized scat. These twenty-five tracks, recorded from 1923 to 1967, still hold up years later.
