		For baby boomers, who grew up seeing Louis Armstrong on prime-time television variety shows—the aging Negro mugging duets with a stiff white host, grinning and blowing an old-style horn, mopping his face with a white handkerchief—the idea of his importance as an avant-garde musician and representative American comes very hard.

		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.
		The Hot Five swings like crazy on tunes like "Once in a While", and listen to "Skip the Gutter", "Muggles" and "Weatherbird" to hear one of the finest partnerships in jazz history, Armstrong and Hines.
