Louis Armstrong was a cornet and trumpet player who became increasingly famous during the 1920s. He participated in many activities such as the Harlem Renaissance, network radio programs, and starring in many different movies. He also toured and performed in different countries including Spain, Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, and more. His music changed the perspective of jazz and other types of music genres. Louis Armstrong, who was widely regarded as the most influential artist of his time, became one of the most well-known artists in the 1920s, being featured in the Harlem Renaissance, earned the title of "The World's Greatest Trumpet Player" and is still remembered for his<a data-href=/writing/document/53E715542E286D71 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'>Armstrong participated in the period of cultural achievement also known as the Harlem Renaissance where African American artists of all types explored and expressed their rich heritage. In the Spring of 1924, Armstrong received a more extensive introduction to the Harlem elite. “The recordings in this category are considered by many critics as Armstrong’s greatest including gems such as Weather Bird, West End Blues, and Don’t Jive Me, they were made in 1928 and Armstrong’s break with the New Orleans style (Collins)”. They were all made in 1928. During the Great Depression, jazz helped lift the spirits of the country. “At some point in the 1920s, Armstrong was nicknamed Satchmo. This was probably derived from satchel mouth. As Satchmo, he became a recognized world figure (Armstrong, Louis 1901-1971)”. During the 1930s, Armstrong took his music to Europe as his fame grew. Over the next few years, he also made some influential recordings such as Body and Soul and Stardust. This helped create the mellow smooth sound which would become increasingly popular during the 1930s. Years of touring had injured his lip and hampered his recording career, leaving him without a recording</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/53E715542E286D71">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-better-essays"><div><span>Better 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-FKTRSRJVJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Louis Armstrong Research Paper</h2></a><ul><li>3031 Words</li><li>13 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-FKTRSRJVJ" 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">Many people knew Louis Armstrong as the “first real genius of jazz”(Shipton 26). 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</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>3031 Words</li><li>13 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/Louis-Armstrong-Research-Paper-FKTRSRJVJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><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/Jelly-Roll-Morton-Research-Paper-2D9A86C5DAD465ED" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Jelly Roll Morton Research Paper</h2></a><ul><li>648 Words</li><li>3 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/Jelly-Roll-Morton-Research-Paper-2D9A86C5DAD465ED" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Jelly Roll Morton Research Paper</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Joe king oliver was considered to contribute to the whole jazz era and today they described him as the major jazz influence.

The 1920’s was truly a great time for blacks because they were able to lay the foundation for civil rights. Discrimination against blacks thrived, whites were considered the superior race causing unequal rights and segregation amongst african americans. Many African Americans at the time were fighting for their freedom expressing themselves through various styles of art. Amongst these individuals there was a man named Louis Armstrong.

This can be proven when looking at the creation of multiple musical genres including jazz. Most notably, Dixieland Jazz or New Orleans style jazz took root in the city throughout the early 20th century. Throughout this period, many artists began to implement this new style of music that derived ultimately from the roots of jazz. In this, New Orleans became an incubator for an expansive and igniting fuse in the music industry and set the stage for one of the greatest African American jazz musicians: Louis Armstrong.

Opera, military marching bands, folk music, the blues, different types of church music, ragtime, echoes of traditional African drumming, and all of the dance styles that went with this music could be heard and seen throughout the city. When all of these kinds of music blended into one, jazz was born." (Gopal, 2013) Marsalis went on to state that one of the most influential artist in the history of jazz music was Louis Armstrong. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on August 4, 1901, he began playing the cornet at the age of 13. With renowned pieces such as: “What a Wonderful World”, “When the Saints Go Marching In” and “Ain’t Misbehavin”, Armstrong perfected the improvised jazz solo as we know it. Before Armstrong, Dixieland was the style of jazz that everyone was playing. This was a style that featured collective improvisation where everyone soloed at once. Armstrong developed the idea of musicians playing during breaks that expanded into musicians playing individual solos. This became the norm. Affectionately known as "Pops" and "Satchmo," Louis was loved and admired throughout the world. He died in New York City on July 6, 1971.
