When he was alive but even after his death, Louis Armstrong has always been thought to be the one that started everything in jazz. Just listen to the albums of the Hot Five and Hot Seven – these fresh records seem to have been recorded yesterday - to measure how limitless is Armstrong's contribution to the world of jazz. His trumpet is in our hearts and his songs are on our lips. From West End Blues to What a Wonderful World, this is a time that we can relive through his genius and his incredible career as a musician.
