Info

Louis Armstrong wurde in der Geburtsstadt des Jazz, New Orleans, geboren und wuchs in ärmlichen Verhältnissen auf. Musik schien das Einzige zu sein, das ihm aus dem Elend half. Mit Ernsthaftigkeit und Talent wurde er zu einer stilprägenden und einflussreichen Figur. Sowohl gesanglich (er gilt als Erfinder des Scat-Gesangs, einer frei improvisierten Anordnung von Silben, die rhythmisch variiert wurden) als auch auf seinen Instrumenten Cornet und Trompete gestaltete er die Stile Dixieland der 10er- und 20er-Jahre und Swing-Jazz des nächsten Jahrzehnts enscheidend mit, und führte den Jazz seiner Zeit in poppige Gefielde hinüber. Er spielte in 34 Filmen mit und trat auf der ganzen Welt auf. In England erhielt er den Spitznamen Satchmo, eine Verkürzung von satchelmouth, was sich auf seine Pausbacken beim Trompetenspiel bezog.
