About This Item
This book answers some of the questions regarding Louis Armstrong and his long-lasting success in an exhausting and exacting business. It embraces his views on work, creative music-making, politics, marriage, home life racialism, travelling, criticism, modern jazz and rock and other topics. It covers Louis in print, on film, on record and on stage. It also tells of Louis' brushes with mobsters in the early 30's and recounts his version of "the days of the vipers" and his own experiences with drugs.
"In a career stretching over more than five decades of professional playing--first in his home town, then following roughly the part taken by jazz as it moved to new capitals in Chicago, New York, the West Coast and finally Europe--Louis played a decisive role in bringing American jazz to maturity and spreading it round the globe. By common consent, he was the man who revolutionised the music."
