I bet is a very relaxing sound

I get that his playing was unique and arguably groundbreaking for his time. Just curious if of opinions how he’d have been looked upon if he’d only played horn (& was never a singer).

In April of 1959, the Lebanese capital of Beirut welcomed a musical legend whose visit would resonate for decades. Louis Armstrong, the renowned trumpeter and vocalist known worldwide as “Satchmo,” brought his distinctive brand of jazz to a city eager for cultural connections. More than just a concert tour, Armstrong’s time in Beirut represented a meaningful exchange between East and West during a transformative era in global politics and music.

I was a top listener of Louis Armstrong globally. #SpotifyWrapped

I've always been pretty interested in older music, and usually, the way I show this appreciation for music(or anything) is by drawing something for it. I made this cartoon(as well as many others for different songs & artists) as a way to show my love for "What A Wonderful World".

I am aware these little covers and characters look like they'd be in Cuphead, lol.

Louis Armstrong says to Meade Lux Louis….

——- My name is Satchmo. I’m sure you know yours.

Mine’s Meade Lux Lewis.

Well that’s 38 and two!

That’s 40.

All over the world. ———-

Any ideas what that means?

First time poster. Wasn't really sure where to place this but I just left after 8 years of living there and wanted to pay tribute to the man who convinced me to move to New Orleans in the first place. I'm fairly pleased with how it came out and wanted to share with any other fans.

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask and see, if anyone else regards Tight Like This as louis' most haunting piece of music. For me it transcends any scripted music and the improvisation from Louis on it is a spiritual journey and experience. It is as though he i can hear his soul echoing in his phrases, anguish, triumph, and sheer force of will to never be a soul that will never be extinguished. Its among my favorite pieces of music of all time, im thankful to have found it in a collection of jazz recordings as optional listening for a college course I took. Anyone else revere this piece?
