Good list, but why aren’t Grover Washington, David Sanborn and Branford Marsalis on this list? Just as good as some of these greats.

One of the compositions played by Armstrong’s Hot Five was Cornet Chop Suet.

I noticed Pat mentioned Larry Coryell in his diatribe, and Larry just passed away last night.

Oops. Typo. It’s Louis Armstrong’s Hot Fives and Sevens.

Singing “What a Wonderful World,” and “Hello Dolly,” is nice, but Armstrong’s reputation as a jazz musician is all about that. Those sessions made jazz what it is.
