LOUIS ARMSTRONG
With dazzling virtuosity on the trompet and an innovative singing
style. Satchomo was the fountainhead of a thoroughly original
American sound.
Pop. Sweet papa Dip. Satchmo. He had perfect pitch and perfect
rhythm. His improvised melodies and singing could be as lofty as a
moon flight or as low-down as the blood drops of a street thug dying
in the gutter. Like most of the great innovators in Jazz, he was a
small man. But the extent of his influence across Jazz, across American
music and around the world has such continuing stature that he is one
of the few sho can easily be mentioned with Stravinsky, Picasso and
Joyce. His life was the embodiment of one who moves from rags to
riches, from anonymity to internationally imitated innovator. Louis
Daniel Armstrong supplied revolutionary language that took on such
pervasiveness that it became commonplace, like the light bulb, the
airplan, the telephone.

全世界的音樂影響極大,而且持續不墜,使他成為少數能與史特拉汶斯基,畢卡索和
喬埃斯相提並論的人.他的一生是從赤貧而致富,從沒沒無聞到全世界爭相模仿的革
新者的真實寫照.路易斯阿姆斯壯創造了革命性的語言,讓它無所不在,成為就像燈
