Louis Armstrong

Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong was not just an outstanding musician but also a humanitarian whose contributions to jazz and culture put him on the level of innovators like Shakespeare, Picasso, and Ellington. Louis Armstrong began playing cornet before switching to the trumpet, an instrument he would master and be inextricably linked with, blessing jazz with a legacy of timeless recordings such as “Hello Dolly,” “A Kiss to Build a Dream On,” “Heebie Jeebies,” “Mack the Knife,” and the internationally recognized ode to optimism, “What a Wonderful World.” Satchmo’s fingerprints are all over popular music; he introduced now-standard innovations such as soloing and scatting.
