Louis Armstrong    1901 [?] -1971
 

jazz trumpeter and singer

 

 

Jazz music,

probably the only art form

ever wholly originated in America,

and Louis Armstrong

grew up together in New Orleans.

 

It was in a seamy slum there

that Mr. Armstrong

learned to love and play jazz

in the company of gamblers, pimps

and prostitutes.

 

(...)

 

Mr. Armstrong's

early years spent in New Orleans,

were marked by extreme poverty

and squalor, but he emerged able

to recall them without self-pity

and even with good humor.

 

"I was a Southern Doodle Dandy

born on the Fourth of July, 1900,"

said Daniel Louis Armstrong.

 

"My mother Mary Ann

--we called her Mayann--

was living in a two-room shack

in James Alley,

in the Back O' Town

colored section of New Orleans.

 

It was in a tough block,

all them hustlers and their pimps

and gamblers with their knives,

between Gravier

and Perdido Streets."
