	THREE PAPERS ON LOUIS ARMSTRONG
		Armstrong was greeted as a hero, but racism mared his return when a White radio announcer refused to announce Armstrong on the air and a free concert that Louis was going to give to the cities' African American population was cancelled at the last minute.
		Armstrong maintained a serious focus on himself as a person in addition to the popularity of his music and this is a characteristic that helped to make Louis Armstrong such an influential person to such a wide variety and range of individuals, even outside the confines of the musical world.
		Armstrong’s life was explained well through the words of another incredible jazz musician, Duke Ellington, when he said, “I loved and respected Louis Armstrong…He was born poor, died rich, and never hurt anyone on the way” (Ward 16).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Louie Bluie, Howard Armstrong, CD
		As easy as it is to characterize Howard Armstrong as the last link in the once great African-American string band tradition, he really had the kind of personality and talent that transcended simple genre labels.
		This marvelous disc was originally released in 1995 (it won a W.C. Handy Award that year) and it stands as Armstrong's only solo project (although he is helped here on bass by his son, Ralphe Armstrong, a veteran of stints with John McLaughlin and Jean-Luc Ponty, and the swing-style guitar of Ray Kamalay).
		In the end, Armstrong is really more street jazz than he is blues, and this disc hints at the full range of his musical possibilities.

		Although he tended to concentrate on fiddle and mandolin in his later years, no musical style or instrument was ever safely out of reach of Armstrong's sweeping vision.
		Armstrong's version of "Summertime" is particularly stunning, his moaning and swooping fiddle lines highlighting perfectly his casual (but careful) vocal.
		Taken with the Arhoolie collection that goes by the same title, Louie Bluie, a complete portrait of this charming and versatile musician begins to emerge.

		The other four musicians were Armstrong's wife, Lil Hardin Armstrong, on piano; Johnny Dodds on clarinet; Kid Ory on trombone; and Johnny St. Cyr on banjo.
		The music's first great soloist, Armstrong was reshaping jazz by sheer improvisational magic, gradually diminishing the role of the traditional New Orleans ensemble with the clarion brilliance of his trumpet.
		The band expands here, to the Hot Seven and larger ensembles, and it gains soloists who applied Armstrong's lessons to their own instruments--musicians such as pianist Earl Hines and trombonist Jack Teagarden--but all come under the imprint of Armstrong's flowering genius, as both trumpeter and singer.

		As a 75-year-old mandolin and violin virtuoso, painter, poet, and all-around hellraiser, Armstrong bursts onto the screen as a celebration of life itself.
		Even more fascinating is Armstrong's discussion with fellow musician Ted "Dark Gable" Bogan on how fl musicians would avoid 1930s racism by learning the languages of immigrant groups.

		The soundtrack to the Louie Bluie film has Howard Armstrong (aka Louie Bluie) in informal settings with various musicians, including Ted Bogan, Ikey Robinson, Yank Rachell, and Tom Armstrong.
		If you're a casual blues fan and want a representative disc of the songster genre, you could do a lot worse than this, especially as the clear fidelity is far superior to what's possible from remastered 78s.
		The CD reissue adds four songs from 1929-38 not on the original Arhoolie LP: "Vine Street Drag" by the Tennessee Chocolate Drops, two sides by Sleepy John Estes with Yank Rachell (including the famous "Milk Cow Blues"), and a 1938 single by Yank Rachell.

		The CD contains a bunch of Disney classics (and a couple of obscure tunes from a live action Disney film) performed by Louie Armstrong, singing in his unique style and blowing solos as well.
		Louie somehow became a popular Disney performer during his later years, even appearing on the Disney TV show playing his heart out on the Mark Twain at Disneyland!
		I have to admit that his solos are a little lacking, and maybe even flat in places, but it doesn't really detract from the fun of the music!
