jazzbo Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 (edited) You know, I've been making a big deal of Louis' birthday for myself for some five or six years now, and I realize more and more what he means to the music we love, and just what he means for our American experiece. I listened to about five hours of his music today, and it was a great pleasure.

wesbed Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) I'm listening to Armstrong's Hot Five Sessions as I type these words. What's intersting, to me, is that there's New Orleans style jazz. And, there is Louis Armstrong. Armstrong is New Orleans jazz but, also, something so much more. Although my ear is slowly getting more tuned to the New Orleans style, often I hear a conglomeration of instruments that are jumbled together into a single sound. When I listen to Armstrong, however, I hear all the instruments and feel a groove that seems like quite a quality groove. I was reading that Armstrong was the one who broke free of the 'group' play and opened jazz to more 'solo' play. Louis Armstrong is, very much, of the New Orleans style. At the same time, he was doing something very unique for the time. To my ears, Armstrong's groups sound more 'modern' than, say, the groups of Bix or Trumbauer. But, just my opinion. I more I hear Louis, the more I hear Louis. Edited May 24, 2004 by wesbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
