  • Louis Armstrong Was the Greatest of All Jazz Musicians
    Louis Biography Armstrong Biography Louis Armstrong was the greatest of all Jazz musicians. Armstrong defined what it was to play Jazz. His amazing technical abilities, the joy and spontaneity, and amazingly quick, inventive musical mind still dominate Jazz to this day. Only Charlie Parker comes close to having as much influence on the history of Jazz as Louis Armstrong did. Like almost all early Jazz musicians, Louis was from New Orleans. He was from a very poor family and was sent to reform school when he was twelve after firing a gun in the air on New Year's Eve. At the school he learned to play cornet. After being released at age fourteen, he worked selling papers, unloading boats, and selling coal from a cart. He didn't own an instrument at this time, but continued to listen to bands at clubs like the Funky Butt Hall. Joe "King" Oliver was his favorite and the older man acted as a father to Louis, even giving him his first real cornet, and instructing him on the instrument. By 1917 he played in an Oliver inspired group at dive bars in New Orleans' Storyville section. In 1919 he left New Orleans for the first time to join Fate Marable's band in St. Louis. Marable led a band that played on the Strekfus Mississsippi river boat lines. When the boats left from New Orleans Armstrong also played regular gigs in Kid Ory's band. Louis stayed with Marable until 1921 when he returned to New Orleans and played in Zutty Singleton's.

Two series (available singly) from England that could well serve as models for reissuing classic jazz in every way but one: the sound qual­ ity is not state-of-the-art. The standards set for transfers by John R. T. Davies in England and Jack Towers hereabouts are not approximated, especially when one considers that Okeh, the source for 98% of the material, was matched only by Victor for quality recording in the '20s. Not that the level here isn't decent, especially considering that three of the Armstrong and six of the Beiderbecke sides contain nine tracks (the rest have eight--LP standard for 78 material). It is, and commen­ dable results have been obtained from the acoustic Louis masters. It's only because everything else is so close to perfection that the issue is raised, and I might not have focused on it at all but for the disap­ pointment of finding my favorite Bix item, Sorry, marred by an engineer­ ing defect.
