"In all my whole career the Brick House was one of the toughest
joints I ever played in. It was the honky-tonk where levee workers
would congregate every Saturday night and trade with the gals who'd
stroll up and down the floor and the bar. Those guys would drink
and fight one another like circle saws. Bottles would come flying
over the bandstand like crazy, and there was lots of just plain
common shooting and cutting. But somehow all that jive didn't faze
me at all, I was so happy to have some place to blow my horn." So
says Louis Armstrong, a tough kid who just happened to be a musical
genius, about one of the places where he performed and grew up.
This raucous, rich tale of his early days in New Orleans concludes
with his departure to Chicago at twenty-one to play with his
boyhood idol King Oliver, and tells the story of a life that began,
mythically, on July 4, 1900, in the city that sowed the seeds of
jazz.
