Summary |
Short biography on Armstrong aimed to "satisfy both the newcomer and the more fully informed." Does not spend much time on Armstrong's early years because Armstrong's own book on the subject was published only a few years before this one. Instead, it devotes a fairly lengthy chapter to Armstrong's All Stars period (the book was published in 1960) with discussions of Armstrong's perception as an "Uncle Tom" and criticisms of his narrow repertoire and set solos. Concludes with a selected discography of Armstrong titles then available in the United Kingdom. |
