he was pretty good at shining shoes
>>64047394
One of the greatest and most important musicians to ever live.
It's pretty hard to overrate him.
Y DID black men STOP PLAYING THE GOAT INSTRUMENT?
>>64047394
He wasn't as good as his Crackerjack band.

Decent musician, but overrated.
>Louis was married four times but his marriages never produced any children. Louis loved children! The neighbors still recall that when Louis returned from a trip, children would gather around the band bus and then help Louis carry his trumpet and suitcases into the house. Then Lucille would fix everybody a bowl of ice cream while they all watched westerns on TV.

>We finally went to bed. And Louis was still laying up in the bed watching the tree, his eyes just like a baby's eyes would watch something... So finally I said, "Well, I'll turn the lights out now on the tree." He said, "No, don't turn them out. I have to just keep looking at it. You know, that's the first tree I ever had."
>Well, I hadn't realized that you know. Louis was 40 years old and it seems to me that in 40 years a person would have at least one tree. I was all swollen up inside when he told me that. We were to leave the next day for Kansas City. I figured Christmas is over; today's the 26th nowl I'll leave the tree. Louis said, "No, don't leave the tree; take the tree with you." And he had me take the tree on those one-nighters. Before I even unpacked a bag I had to set that tree up, his Christmas tree....
>I kept that first little tree until way after New Year's, putting it up every night and taking it down every morning, in a dozen hotels. And then when I did take it down for the last time, Louis wanted me to mail it home. It was a real tree, not an artificial one, and I had to convince him-- I really had to convince him-- that the tree would dry up.

I bet you listen to free jazz
Dookie is a pretty good album.
>>64047394
the greatest jazz trumpeter of all time. the recordings he made with earl hines in the late 1920s have never been surpassed as far as i'm concerned.
