Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong (aug.4,1901 - jul.6,1971) was an American jazz trumpeter and singer.
Coming to prominence in the 20s 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, 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."

This is superb. Thankyou, edmundusrex.
Louis is amazing.
The fine piano player, Buck Washington, was part of a comedy-duo, "Buck and Bubbles", they also sang and danced, appeared in films, & were very well-known.

One of my all time favorite Jazz standards, I would love to recreate this on guitar with a light dreamy distortion. I was reminded of it from The benjamin Button Movie, the second phrase like 12 bars in is the one that gets me every time. Loony Tunes & Tom & Jerry Cartoons used it alot, I think thats where it grabbed me in my childhood...

Django and Art were definitely in the same league as well.

For sure.
Louis was a goddamn genius.
Him, Charlie Parker, and John Coltrane played from their soul. Originals.

The trumpet. I've never loved a musical instrument more. And it's because of Louis. And I always know when he's playing it. He has this very recognizable way.
