Louis Armstrong was pretty famous. He was pretty much the foundation in jazz known for playing his trumpet.
I really want to get into jazz music but there's so much to learn. Well, to give you some history, jazz started in New Orleans' African-American communities. That's interesting! What else can you tell me about its history? It has several roots, like the culture and music of West Africa, along with African-American musical traditions like blues and ragtime, and even including military band music from Europe. That's incredible! Are there any Jazz musicians you are familiar with?
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an ''inventive'' trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance.
