Publisher's Summary
If not for a stint in reform school, young Louis Armstrong might never have become a musician. It was a teacher at the Colored Waifs' Home who gave him a cornet, promoted him to band leader, and saw talent in the tough kid from the even tougher New Orleans neighborhood called Storyville.
But it was Louis Armstrong's own passion and genius that pushed jazz into new and exciting realms with his amazing, improvisational trumpet playing. His 70-year life spanned a critical time in American music as well as black history.

"Interesting family listen"
What made the experience of listening to Who Was Louis Armstrong? the most enjoyable?We've listened to many of the "Who Was" books as a family. They always provide for an interesting listen and I find myself learning things along w/ the children. It's a great way to supplement their history lessons at school.
