		He and the band's pianist, Lil Hardin, began to hang out together, taking in the clubs and variety of music that the city had to offer.
		Hardin had a side gig at the Edelweiss Gardens, an after-hours club, and Louis used to accompany her there.
		Around the end of 1925, Lil Hardin, to whom Louis was now married, suggested that he return to Chicago "because it would be nicer for us to starve together than to be apart so long." Some say that Armstrong left because Henderson was unwilling to allow the gravel-voiced trumpet player to sing.

	Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance
		Hardin immediately began overhauling Armstrong's rough New Orleans persona, buying him new clothes, changing his hairstyle, and demanding a certain propriety in his behavior.
		Armstrong may have resented Hardin's overbearing social direction, but he remained forever grateful that she had pushed him to expand his musical sensibility.
		At Hardin's urging, Armstrong himself tried to acquire some classical training; he practiced concert pieces at home to Hardin's accompaniment on a grand piano, and he even studied briefly with a German trumpet teacher known in Chicago for advocating the "nonpressure" method of playing.

		Dickerson notes these achievements and others (Hardin held two advanced degrees in music, designed clothing and made the transition to swing vocalist and band leader), but devotes considerable attention to Hardin's once husband and music partner Armstrong; the bulk of the book is devoted to the years Hardin lived and worked with him.
		As someone who knew Lil Armsrong well, I was struck by how far off the mark this alleged portrait of her is. The author hasn't a clue when it comes to Lil's personality, the fabric of her life, and her place in jazz.
		Lil was a significant presence in the 1920's Chicago scene and in the life of her second husband, Louis; she was a fine composer and an above-average instrumentalist.

		She could always tell the interested parties that she was married (it was the truth), but having a husband did not stop her from becoming involved with the young Louis Armstrong when he arrived in Chicago to play second trumpet with Oliver.
		Hardin arranged for her divorce as well as Armstrong's, married him, and saw to it that he left Oliver and moved on to New York to play with Fletcher Henderson.
		Although Armstrong and Hardin maintained cordial relations after their marriage broke up in the late 1920s, Gary Giddins has suggested that Armstrong never forgave her for ending his relationship with Oliver.

		Lil was a young woman who had been valedictorian of her class at Fisk and had started out as a concert pianist with ambitions to be a composer.
		Contrary to legend, the music of the bands that she played with in those days was not blown spontaneously into the air, but was composed, written down, and carefully coached on the piano by Lil.
		I developed quite a crush on Lillian Hardin and used to go out to the South Side to the places she was playing.

		Keppard worked in Chicago both as a soloist and with the bands of Jimmie Noone, Johnny Dodds, Erskine Tate, Doc Cooke (for several years), Don Pasquall, and Lil Hardin Armstrong.
		While Oliver had more admirers, to some extent preference was a matter of taste; Jelly Roll Morton, Lil Hardin Armstrong, and Wellman Braud all thought Keppard superior to Oliver.

		Lil Hardin Armstrong is primarily remembered as Louis Armstrong's second wife, though actually she was an accomplished early jazz pianist, playing in bands with him in the 1920s.
		A problem with doing a biography of Lil is that she had been dead about 30 years by the time the author undertook the task, and virtually all of her associates were long gone as well.
		As many details of her fuzzy early life in Memphis and Chicago are filled in as are available, and her relationship with Louis, which after extremely intimate beginnings quickly declined into remote separateness, is gone over in considerable detail.
