This is part of Verve's By Request series.

Having long since been established as the most influential innovator and entertainer in jazz, these recordings from 1949-53 continue to place Armstrong as the ambassador of American music. Armstrong effectively renders these 18 sentimental ballads and love songs, which have been enjoyed by several generations, with a no-fail formula consisting of large helpings of his gravelly crooning and bionic bugle augmented by brilliant voicing from his sidemen.

"Satchelmouth"'s singing, though brutish and raspy, has emotional accuracy. He can be funny and tender, passionate or solemn, as his nuances bring out the essence of these songs. His trumpet is as engaging and powerful as any blues, rag, or jump brassman. He transforms the merely sweet into Dixieland drama; a powerhouse trumpet solo sandwiched between sweet vocals on "A Kiss To Build A Dream On" transforms a waltz into a torrid anthem of romance.
