Synopsis
A welcome addition to the many volumes available on the great jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong, this insightful recounting of the urban and social conditions that influenced his early years is a fascinating history of both jazz and New Orleans, the city that fostered the music. In a colorful and compelling narrative, author Thomas Brothers relates the racial and historical circumstances that brought about the city's, and Armstrong's, musical ascendance. He covers such elements as the intermingling of previously socially estranged Creoles and blacks, the post-Civil War usurpation of French influence by domestic forces, the racial significance of musical street parades, and the previous slave culture's deconstruction (or "ragging") of popular songs of the period--a practice that formed the foundations of jazz.

Publisher's Note
A rags-to-riches narrative of the eminent jazz artist's early life describes how his childhood was marked by such challenges as poverty, Jim Crow legislation, and vigilante terrorism but how his musical prowess was shaped by the culturally rich African-American traditions of New Orleans.
