Louis Daniel Armstrong was born August 4 1901, in 'Uptown' New Orleans, Louisiana. Louis started his career in music in the Orleans Home for Colored Waifs where he joined the band playing the cornet.
Working on riverboats in jazz bands Louis honed his playing style and eventually he was invited by Joe "King" Oliver, to join his Creole jazz band in 1922. He made his first recordings in 1923 on the Gennet and Okeh labels.
It was during this period when the public really started to notice this young jazz man with his own distinctive style and Louis rode the popularity of the medium.
Sadly Louis Daniel Armstrong suffered a heart attack and died on July 6, 1971.
