Louis Armstrong “What we play is life”

In the Beginning Louis Armstrong was born on August 4, 1901. He often said that he was born on July 4th. It was not until the mid 1890’s till people discovered that he was born on August 4th. This was discovered through the examination of baptismal. Armstrong was born in a very poor family in New Orleans. He spent his youth and poverty in a very rough neighborhood. His father abandoned his family when Louis was a infant and took up with another woman.

Teen Years He attended a Fisk School for boys only. It was there that he had his first exposal to music. He did paper route and helped in the lunch room but that still wasn’t enough to keep his mom from prostitution. After dropping out of Fisk School Armstrong joined the quartet of boys who sang in the streets for money to keep living and to pay for stuff. Armstrong had many different jobs to keep his family living. At one point he worked for a Jewish family who had a junk hauling business. Louis came along his cornet playing because he got sent away for firing his stepfathers pistol in the air on New Years eve for the celebration and police thought different and arrested him and sent him away.

Lifestyle Louis married Daisy Parker from Louisiana. They adopted a 3 year old boy named Clarence Armstrong, who was Louis cousin real son but she died after giving birth. Clarence was mentally disabled and Louis has spent the rest of his life taking care of him. Louis marriage failed after a while so they got a divorce and she died shortly after that. After a while Louis Armstrong music started to mature and expand and he started to go local. At 20 he could read music and he started to be featured in extended trumpet solos.

Musical Life Louis was asked to join Oliver’s band. This band was known as the best band and hot and influential in Chicago in the early 1890’s. This was the time when Chicago was the center of the jazz universe. As his music life went on he made a lot more money and bought his own apartment with his own (first) private bathroom. Excited to be in Chicago everything good was going for him. Armstrong enjoyed working for Oliver but his second wife Lil Hardin Armstrong urged him to seek more prominent billing, and developed his newer style away from the influence of Oliver.

Careers Louis Armstrong career was that he was a musician he was one of the best of all times. He made soul come into your heart and steal it. So many people wanted him to play with him and asked him to be in their band.
