And boy, did he ever. Louis gets a bit lost in the history of jazz, but goddamn could that man lay down a jazz song.

All of Me and I’m Confessing That I Love you might just might be the two most important songs in the history of jazz.

What makes you think Armstrong gets a bit lost in the history of jazz? Genuinely curious as to why you say that, as anyone who has done any sort of study in the genre...even a cursory study...knows that there probably is no more significant figure in the history and development of the form than Armstrong. And that’s not a hyperbolic statement in the least.
