increible 

[Aaronthegreatest]

It's like he almost wanted to daaaance but....too lazy.

[metallitech]

That's all there is. There isn't any more.

[TheHeater90]

Man, he plays with the timing so much, starting at like 2:26! Thee genius of all musical geniuses!

[fineyoungspecimen]

Although his solo is not filled with many notes with the few he uses is still pure beauty

[harryoakley]

@fineyoungspecimen It is pure beauty BECAUSE he uses few notes!

[fineyoungspecimen]

@harryoakley and the right notes

[gjc82071]

@fineyoungspecimen There you go. Somebody who can actually "get it". Armstrong was criticized by Wynton Marsalis (who has lightning speed) & or (I forget which 1) Dizzy Gillespie, for his lack of velocity/solos, while playing. I think they later recanted, but anyway, Armstrong can say more with a single note, then most trumpet players can in 20. He has a very special tonal quality in the way he plays.

[goodfellacarlos89]

@gjc82071 It was Dizzy Gillespie. Wynton is a HUGE proponent and supporter or Louis. I saw it in Ken Burns Jazz documentary. It is said that Dizzy called Louis a hasbeen and outdated. He took it back though.

@LucilleBall861911

He had this passion in common with Dexter Gordon backstage. "Shared" would be much appropriate.

[MrChet73]

It seems so easy play trumpet when Louis fly....

[Gorboduc]

The audience reminds me of the applauding old ladies from Monty Python.

[harryoakley]

@Gorboduc - Yes I see what you mean! It's mainly because of the way the applause is inserted into the film and obviously not a genuine part of it.

[bimhimbim]

@Gorboduc His music was retro in 1932

[VanThomas90]

It was good for real this is purity from one of the greatest of all time. He didn't make you watch it either S.G.

[ateniense7]

A master.

[wakamatchannel]

[akilli1453]

And this was an off day!

[1960alp]

Never can get enough of this! Thank you so much.

[peandersen1]

Just great! The rumour sais that when Louis for the first time in his life in 1932 arrived at Copenhagen Central Station, the were about 50.000 people til welcome him.

[sirjuandabicho]

Genial, Muchas gracias y que viva Louie

[trumpet6591]

I love Louis' facial expression when he ends the tune on that high F. He was and still is the greatest musician that ever lived.

[jibsmokestack1]

@trumpet6591 Amen to that brother. Armstrong means so much to the development of 20th music it's incalculable. The sheer example he set to aspiring musicians through sheer force of personality alone, as well as his numerous and varied, standout musical gifted. Worthy of the title 'The Greatest', than anyone else I can think of!!

[bornonafarm]

why did not more people film the musician of the century at this time? thank heavens that the Danes had such good taste, brilliant

[cenotosa1]

Film was very expensive then.

[tadd1]

@cenotosa1 True, but they still found the money to finance the filming of white musicians. Just telling it like it is.

[cenotosa1]

@tadd1 yeah, they did, but white musicians weren't even filmed that much. they were filmed a lot more than black musicians, but whenever they were filmed, it was usually in a movie. When it came to filming jazz musicians, there wasn't a huge line between black and white.
