'Jazz and I grew up side by side when we were poor...I sure had a ball growing up in New Orleans as a kid. We were poor and everything like that, but music was all around you. Music kept you rolling.' Louis Armstrong (1900-1971), the most famous jazz trumpeter of all time, will also be remembered as a band leader, film star, comedian, and the first jazz personality to become an international celebrity. Born in New Orleans, he played in marching bands and on Mississippi riverboats but became famous with the Chicago band of 'King' Oliver. With his extraordinary instrumental range, gift for variations, distinctive 'scat' vocals and extroverted performance style, he succeeded in bringing jazz to audiences who had never before cared for the music. Mike Pinfold sheds new light on Armstrong's New Orleans background and the unparalleled position he holds in America culture. Ships Quickly! Please ask any questions prior to purchase.
