He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 4, 1901. Louis was the illegitimate son of William Armstrong and Mary Est “Mayann” Albert. He was abandoned by his father, a boiler stoker, shortly after his birth and was raised by his paternal grandmother. Then, at the age of five, he was returned to the care of his mother, who at the time worked as a laundress. Together with his mom, they moved to a better area of New Orleans. This is where Armstrong first fell in love with music; he would listen to people playing any chance that he would get(Tirro). He would attend parades, funerals, churches and go to cheap cabarets to be able to hear some of the greats play<a data-href=/writing/document/FKTRSRJVJ class="document__middle white-space--normal source-serif text-l" rel="nofollow" style="cursor:pointer;white-space: normal;"> <i>…show more content…</i> </a></p></span><span class="document__preview text-l source-serif "><p class='text-ellipsis-after'>This was a hard move for Armstrong because he did not want to leave his hometown of New Orleans, but he knew it was a move he needed to make(Tirro). He made his first ever recording with Oliver’s band in 1923 under the Gennett Label. Though, in 1924, Armstrong was given the opportunity to move to New York City. He did not want to make the move, but his wife convinced him it was best for his career, and he went. In New York, Armstrong was the third cornet in Fletcher Henderson’s band(“Louis Daniel Armstrong”). While performing in Henderson’s band, Armstrong made many more recordings, and was lucky enough to work with some famous <a href='/topics/jazz' style='color:#3174a3'>jazz</a> singers and instrumentalists; Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Alberta Hunter, and Sidney Bechet. But Armstrong became unhappy with the band because he was given few opportunities to solo and was rarely allowed to sing, which forced him away from Henderson’s band(Cogswell 18). Though he was only in New York for a year, this trip helped his talent become more nationally recognized. He built confidence, learned about showmanship, and improved his ability to read music(“Louis Daniel Armstrong”). Everybody in New York fell in love with him because not only was he a great musician, but his humor brought so much more to the performance(Shipton 26). He then returned to Chicago where he was given a spot in his wife’s band as the first chair cornet, his first time in</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/FKTRSRJVJ">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Armstrongs-Major-Accomplishments-FCZSJ7HP6LV" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Armstrong's Major Accomplishments</h2></a><ul><li>263 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Armstrongs-Major-Accomplishments-FCZSJ7HP6LV" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Armstrong's Major Accomplishments</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Armstrong was born in New Orleans on August 4, 1901.

When Armstrong was eleven years old, he got in trouble for shooting a gun on New Year’s Eve to ring in the new year, 1912. He attended Colored Waifs Home in 1913 for eighteen months. During his time there, he learned how to play the bugle cornet, an instrument that is similar to the trumpet. After his time in Colored Waifs Home, he wanted to become a musician. At the start of Armstrong’s career, he married Daisy Parker.

His success from then on sky rocketed and included playing along side big name musicians in orchestras and bands. He often reflected upon his rough childhood and drew inspiration from it, perhaps the root of the attitude, feel and expression of his unique sound. His domination and success of the jazz scene can also be seen as a function of time and place as he grew up in the heart center of the evolution of jazz music at the time. Armstrong remained on top all throughout his life until his death on July 6th 1971.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>278 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Oscar-Armstrongs-Major-Accomplishments-6268D19D58E70BCE">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay3"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Thesis-Statement-PCQ8RQLH8V" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Thesis Statement</h2></a><ul><li>56 Words</li><li>1 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Thesis-Statement-PCQ8RQLH8V" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Thesis Statement</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">On New Years Eve, 1912, Louis Armstrong was celebrating the New Year with his family.

Some even theorize that it was Armstrong’s difficult upbringing that made his music so wise, so unique, and so revolutionary. Armstrong was an African American child growing up in the slums of New Orleans, close to abandonment, impoverished, and with too few constant people, resources, or homes. However, had his upbringing been different, his musical talents may never have been established to grow and thrive into one of the most internationally influential jazz musicians ever. When Louis Armstrong was placed in a boys’ home as a young boy, he was presented with the opportunity to play the cornet. He took up work in Joe (King) Oliver’s house, doing chores in exchange for musical lessons, developing into a</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1567 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Comparing-Bix-Beiderbecke-And-Louis-Armstrong-FKDZEMTK6Z3W">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay6"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Research-Paper-D3ECFDDFD7F96BBF" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Research Paper</h2></a><ul><li>1664 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Research-Paper-D3ECFDDFD7F96BBF" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Research Paper</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Louis Armstrong was born on August 4th 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The following day Armstrong's words and picture made front page news around the world. Though he had finally spoken out after years of remaining publicly silent, he received criticism at the time from both black and white public figures. Other people of colour musicians such as Sammy Davis Junior said not to listen to Armstrong as he did not represent the black community. Although Armstrong experienced racism and segregation he was not treated as harshly compared to other people of colour musicians at this time. This greatly upset Louis Armstrong the most as he felt he had done so much for his own race and that he had never been appreciated for it. It wasn’t until Armstrong’s death that he was credited for his work in helping the civil rights movement.

Armstrong introduced jazz music to the world as well as created his own pieces of music, setting a high bar for fledged musicians. Many remember him as the “Father of Jazz” (Ginny Holland, 2004). Some of Armstrong’s most memorable pieces are “What a Wonderful World,” “When the Saints Go Marching In,” “Go Down Moses,” and several others.

Throughout the concert in Berlin, Armstrong and his chamber orchestra played 13 different pieces. With the exception of Jewel Woods’ entrance on vocals for two songs, the makeup of the chamber orchestra did not change throughout the concert. As a result, the cello, clarinet, drums, piano, trombone, and trumpet remained vital parts of each song throughout the concert.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>896 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Concert-Analysis-FJAJAC6KBR6">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay10"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Accomplishments-5F30DE0E775702EC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Accomplishments</h2></a><ul><li>1054 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Louis-Armstrong-Accomplishments-5F30DE0E775702EC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Accomplishments</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Many events in Louis Armstrong’s early life played a role in making him into one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. He was born August 4, 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana to parents William “Willie” and Mary Ann “Mayann” Armstrong on Jane Alley. At the time, New Orleans was musical center of the United States and maybe even the western world. Racism, illiteracy, extreme poverty, gang violence, adultery, and heavy drug use were all very prevalent in the city as well. To make things even worse, Louis lived in the worst neighborhood in town, called The Battlefield, because you had to fight to survive in the terrible conditions. These factors were important in young Louie’s life. Both of his parents could barely read or write. Soon after Armstrong’s birth, his father abandoned the family. This made Louie, resent him till the day he died. His mother was very unreliable as well, frequently being absent for days at a time at the local bars and clubs with many boyfriends, forcing Louie to take care of his younger sister, Beatrice (or sometimes referred to as Lucy).
