Jazztodon artist of the week: Louis Armstrong! What would jazz sound like today, even if jazz existed at all, without Louis Armstrong? He invented (or was a strong early influence on) the jazz solo, swing, scat singing, and free personal expression in popular singing. What are some of your favorite Armstrong records or performances? (Thoughts on Wynton's new cover album of the Hot 5 and Hot 7 recordings?)

My favourite musical.

Star packed, very funny and I think I'd heard of all the songs before I saw the movie.

Via Neville F Chamberlain @nevillefchambe1

and His Band play themselves with co-stars , , and in the 🇺🇸American musical romantic comedy film “HIGH SOCIETY” (1956) dir.

Due generazioni non li dividevano. Dexter Gordon e Louis Armstrong sono stati colleghi e amici. Sapevano anche come divertirsi, quando erano insieme.

Returning from our history cruise on the Creole Queen Paddle-wheeler and readying to dock behind the Riverboat Louis Armstrong. This riverboat is more about being a venue for Concerts, Brunches, Seasonal Events, Meetings, and Weddings. Since it is a 'jazzy" boat, I jazzed up my image with multiple layers and filters in Topaz.

Someone asked me about Louis Armstrong in Egypt.

I haven't been able to find any audio from his tour there in 1961, so it's not something I'd spend much time on in a radio show focusing on the music.

However there are loads of wonderful photos and lots of information. Check out this web page by Armstrong scholar Ricky Riccardi:
