Louis Armstrong - Savoy Blues (1927)

Louis Armstrong (Aug.4,1901 Jul.6,1971), nicknamed Satchmo, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an innovative cornet and trumpet virtuoso, Armstrong was a foundational influence on jazz, shifting the music's focus from collective improvisation to solo performers.
With his distinctive gravelly voice, Armstrong was an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also greatly skilled at scat singing, or wordless vocalizing.
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and deep, instantly recognizable voice, Armstrong's influence extended well beyond jazz, and by the end of his career in the '60s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general: critic Steve Leggett describes Armstrong as "perhaps the most important American musician of the 20th century."

The excellent "dippermouth blog" makes a good case for Louis being just as masterly in the post-war period with The All-Stars. The blog is by Ricky Riccardi, the Archivist at the Louis Armstrong House Musejum in Queen's, NY. The blog gives detailed Louis-stories from the 1920s onwards with many 'live' audio samples, plus photos and videos.
Mr Riccardi has just had an entertaining new book published all about Louis's post-war career, 'What a Wonderful World' (see blog for details).
