jazz is jazz

"Hot can be cool, and cool can be hot, and each can be both. But hot or cool, man, jazz is jazz."

Louis Armstrong, the legendary trumpeter and jazz vocalist, was born on August 4, 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

In a career that spanned decades and brought jazz music to the fore of American culture, Armstrong's on-stage companions ranged from Bing Crosby to Ella Fitzgerald to Barbara Streisand.
