You try to find some words that do justice to the greatness of this musician, and realizes that there is already a phrase, is only sufficient, which is defined to perfection and was dedicated as much as Duke Ellington "was born poor, died rich and never hurt anyone along the way", perhaps you could add on that road also made us happy for many.
Louis is a figure that has long been highly contested by some black jazz musicians to criticize his eternal smile, his apparent submission to whites, bold image that may well happen that we do well, but the reality is that he was undoubtedly one of the biggest contributors to his art that jazz is today what it is, and who managed to others who have criticized work.
Armstrong Miles Davis said "You can not touch anything with a horn that Louis has not played" is that for many, Louis only one who sings Hello Dolly or the well-worn but glorious "What a wonderful world", but beyond of their songs was a splendid trumpet and that only enhanced the song when his upper lip was destroyed by the mouthpiece of the trumpet. Bing Crosby said of him "It's the only musician who ever lived can not be replaced by someone" and certainly not have been so many musicians after him.
called him Satchmo (also Pops) by the confusion of a journalist on a European tour. Louis had a mouth a little excessive, he would present himself as "Satchelmouth" coming to mean something like bag mouth. The fact is that a British journalist with little ear for the accent of the southern United States, understood "Satchmo" and this was in his chronicle that served to rename this great genius of contemporary music.
say that jazz is about Armstrong and the Louis commented one day when asked in an interview "What is Jazz?" - "If you have, you ask, you'll never know." And he was right. Other phrases
Armstrong:
There are only two ways to sum up music: either it is good or bad. If you do not give good round, just enjoy it.
All music is folk music. I never heard a horse sing a song.
Money is not something that gives me happiness. You can buy a liquor better than buying the drunk on the corner, but when you die, you will like him.
Musicians do not retire, they stop when there is no music in them.
My whole life, my whole soul, my whole spirit is to blow this instrument.
