This volume forms part of the Life and Times series of compact and accessible biographies which cover key political, literary and musical figures. This title is about the life and work of the jazz musician Louis Satchmo Armstrong (1900-71). Born in poverty and raised in an orphanage, Armstrong dominated one of the main art forms of the 20th century - jazz. He earned the admiration of a global audience, crossing the boundaries of geography, politics and race. His inimitable voice, the poetry of his trumpet amd his mastery of improvisation made him 'Mr Jazz'.
