As trumpet player and singer, Louis Armstrong is the single most
important figure in jazz history, and one of the most influential
musicians--in any category--in this century. He was also, as this
book relates, a wonderful character: actor, clown, raconteur, a
tough kid when he came to Chicago from New Orleans who mellowed
into one of the music's true statesmen. This biography includes not
only a gripping narrative written by two of the most reliable jazz
historians, but also a chronology, film list, and selection of
photos. He was the most beloved of jazz musicians, a hero to
everyone from Eddie Condon and Bobby Hackett to Miles Davis and
Ornette Coleman. His basically happy life is here memorably told,
with a new preface by Dan Morgenstern who describes Armstrong's
central place in world music.
