About this book

Español

¿Quién fue Louis Armstrong?

De no ser por su paso por un reformatorio, el joven Louis Armstrong quizá nunca se habría convertido en músico. Fue un profesor del Hogar de Niños Desamparados de Color quien le dio una corneta, lo ascendió a director de banda y vio talento en el chico rudo de Storyville, un barrio aún más rudo de Nueva Orleans. Pero fue la propia pasión y el genio de Louis Armstrong lo que impulsó el jazz hacia nuevos y emocionantes horizontes con su asombrosa e improvisada forma de tocar la trompeta. Sus setenta años de vida abarcaron una época crucial tanto para la música estadounidense como para la historia afroamericana.

English

Who was Louis Armstrong?

If not for a stint in reform school, young Louis Armstrong might never have become a musician. It was a teacher at the Colored Waifs' Home who gave him a cornet, promoted him to band leader, and saw talent in the tough kid from the even tougher New Orleans neighborhood called Storyville. But it was Louis Armstrong's own passion and genius that pushed jazz into new and exciting realms with his amazing, improvisational trumpet playing. His seventy-year life spanned a critical time in American music as well as black history.
