It's not ragtime, it's New Orleans Style. The original jazz was a fusion of ragtime, blues, and parade music.

"Ten Feet Off the Ground" was recorded very late in his life, in 1968 (he died in 1971).

Do you have spotify? I could make you mix real quick.

Check out these songs: Cheek to Cheek (w/ Ella), Willow Weep for Me (w/ Oscar Peterson), Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans (live Chicago 1956), Basin Street Blues (Chicago 1956), Mack the Knife, La Vie En Rose, Cabaret, Hellzapoppin', When the Saints Go Marching In (1966 - my favorite version), Blueberry Hill, What a Wonderful World, St Louis Blues (great version from Louis Armstrong Plays WC Handy), Just a Closer Walk with Thee (with the Dukes of Dixieland).

Great albums from his later years:

  • What a Wonderful World

  • Louis Armstrong Plays WC Handy

  • Great Chicago Concert 1956

  • Satch Plays Fats

  • Satchmo Plays King Oliver

  • Ella & Louis

  • Ambassador Satch

  • Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson

    If you want to check out his heyday from the 1920s, I recommend The Best of the Hot Fives and Sevens. Or check out these songs: West End Blues, Muggles, Tight Like This, St James Infirmary, Basin Street Blues, St Louis Blues, Black & Blue.

    Enjoy! Pops is the greatest!
