Louis  Armstrong

Louis Armstrong was a great jazz legend. He used to roam the New Orleans streets during the day serving no purpose at all. He loved music more than life itself. His first instrument was a tambourine. Then he went on to trumpet and bugle. After he mastered the bugle he learned to play the cornet. Peter Davis first taught him how to play. When he got really good he started playing with "Papa Joe, The King of Jazz." After he had played with him, Louis became known as "The Ambassador of Jazz." Louis was one of the best, but there were others.
