"Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it."
-Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong was a famous jazz musician during the Harlem Renaissance. He was born August 4th, 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana to a very poor family as the son of William Armstrong and Mary Albert and was the Grandson of a slaves. Louis Armstrong began playing music at age 11. He is famously nicknamed Satchmo, Pops, and the most famous of them all, the Ambassador of Satch. Personally, I think Louis Armstrong was the most influential musician in jazz during the Harlem Renaissance. His work in Jazz music has had a large influence on current Jazz music and musicians. He was one of the hardest working, talented, and dedicated musicians ever! His music will forever and always be associate with the Harlem Renaissance and he will always be remember for his hard work, incredible talent, and unique sound. He will also always remain one of my favorite musician to ever live!
