Miles Davis once said Louis Armstrong not only invented jazz but every kind of music that came after. This performance proves it, still sounding fresh 80+ years later. The person who said Louis Armstrong should not have sang needs a box of Q-tips. Louis invented phrasing.
Pretty much the only music regular people were familiar with at this time was classical and folk. This must have sounded spectacular at the time, especially when experienced live.
This is Armstrong at his very best. What an extraordinary talent he was. This performance makes me smile every time. No one does it better than Louis!

The video is edited. At 1:30 the second trumpet stands up but Louis solos and the second trumpet is mysteriously sitting again.

Some voices just weren't meant for singing. He should have just kept playing that trumpet and never opened his mouth.

King Louis. Long live the king of jazz. True entertainer, in every sense of the word. May the dear Lord bless his sweet soul.
