Description
If not for a stint in reform school, young Louis Armstrong would possibly never have change into a musician. It used to be a teacher on the Colored Waifs’ Home who gave him a cornet, promoted him to band leader, and saw talent within the tough kid from the even tougher New Orleans neighborhood referred to as Storyville. But it surely used to be Louis Armstrong’s own passion and genius that pushed jazz into new and exciting realms together with his amazing, improvisational trumpet playing. His seventy-year life spanned a important time in American music in addition to black history.
