Louis Armstrong born August 4, 1901 and died July 6, 1971 at age 69. As young man Armstrong suffered from disciplinary problems. As a result his parents sent him to a border school. The time he spent there he discovered his love for jazz and started to play the trumpet.
After Louis left border school his father bought him his first trumpet. Who knew that later that gift would make him one the biggest sensations of his time? In 1922 Armstrong joined a group called Creole Jazz Band, and he then became huge throughout Chicago. Louis Armstrong was also very well known for his amazing ability to scat. His trumpet and scatting hits included “Lazy River” and other great hits.
