Louis Armstrong - the best jazz musician
This video is a real treasure. Get the sense and feel for Louis Armstrong, the unique quality of his voice and presence.
He was born in New Orleans on August 4, 1901 and went by nicknames like “Satchmo” and “Pops.” Louis Armstrong performed with the best of his time including “Jimmie Rodgers, Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Bessie Smith, and Ella Fitzgerald.” (ref)
“Shortly before his death he stated, ‘I think I had a beautiful life. I didn’t wish for anything that I couldn’t get and I got pretty near everything I wanted because I worked for it.’”(ref)
He was probably the best jazz musician. Lest we forget, he sang and Louis Armstrong acted in movies as well.
