Hier gibt es nun die einzigartige Sammlung von 19
Original LPs dieses einmaligen Künstlers. Diese
Aufnahmen zeigen den musikalischen Werdegang
des bekanntesten Jazztrompeters der Welt. Sein
Trompetenspiel und sein krächzender Gesangsstil
waren seine Markenzeichen.
Louis Armstrong wurde 1901 in New Orleans, Louisiana,
USA geboren. Erste musikalische Schritte machte er
1918 und 1922 spielte er in der Band seines Mentors
King Oliver das Kornett. 1926 gründete "Satchmo",
wie er nun genannt wurde, seine eigene Formation.
Sein Spitzname "Satchmo" ist eine Abkürzung von"Satchelmouth" (etwa: Mund wie ein Schulranzen).
Armstrong machte im Jazzbereich eine der größten
Karrieren weltweit. Aber auch die amerikanischen
Pop-Charts wurden von ihm erobert. Zwischen 1946
und 1988 schaffte er (zum Teil posthum) mit 18 Titeln
den Sprung in die amerikanischen Pop-Charts. Einige
dieser Erfolge erzielte er als Duettpartner von Bing
Crosby oder auch Ella Fitzgerald. Louis Armstrong
starb im Jahr 1971.
