Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971),^[1] nicknamed Satchmo^[2] or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter, singer, and an influential figure in jazz music.

Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).

Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong's influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African-American entertainers to "cross over", whose skin color was secondary to his music in an America that was severely racially divided. He rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation during the Little Rock Crisis. His artistry and personality allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper echelons of American society that were highly restricted for men of color.

Dear Duru,
I am very sorry to say that the condition of my fractured wrist is such that
I won't be able to attend the reunion. I have to undergo another short procedure on 18th May.
The surgeon says that I would need 3 months of hand therapy following this. Currently the disturbing fact is that I have less than 10 degrees of supination of the forearm and a very weak grip.

I have given Travis and Lucien copies of the accompaniment for a song where I have written appropriate words for the occasion.  I have also sung some parts on this CD so I could join them (from a distance) in this song.
I deeply regret being unable to meet my old friends and join more in the music. Please convey my regards to Sam the Man who was one year senior to me at S.T.C.   I would have dearly loved to play my clarinet with his saxophone.

Please cancel the  booking you made for me at Jetwing Blue. As I have given 4 weeks notice, there should be no penalty if this can be done immediately.
Once again, I am very sorry. I hope I have better luck next time.
Buddy
