thought hard 'bout this one - immediatley i thought of the sublime classical type stuff, stravinsky's and Mahlers' ect ect. or opera and aria's of the quality of nessun dorma ect/
but limited to one cd - and not a compilation of various stuff
no one could represent humanity better than louis armstrong at his peak, and not that sappy mass market stuff from 60's
mid 1950s european tour best of, with the all stars, when he was starting to sing more and more due to problems due to his embouchure technique with trumpet ect. tin roof blues, tiger rag, st james infirmary ect. would have to be included, sublime, and incorporating just about every aspect of music thats ever been - thats who i would send tp represent us, ambassador satch
music has just gone nowhere since then really, maybe even downhill?
