A Song Analysis Of Louis Armstrong's Music

There was saxophone improvisation during this song and though it was an improvisation it seemed to fit in perfectly with the rest of the song. It was a simple improvisation but was still very powerful. There was also a short trumpet solo that was just as simple yet powerful as the one on the

The song starts off from 0:00 to 0:12 with a melody begun by the saxophones, and there are riffs apparent played by the brass section behind this melody, followed by a repeating of this section until 0:22 when the brass section of instruments climbs up the scale to a higher key. This section, from 0:22 to 0:29,

The rhythm section consists of the piano by Paul Mertz, drums by Tommy Gargano, and banjo by Howdy Quicksell. Throughout the piece, the cornet, which is accompanied by the clarinet, plays the main tune as the trombone and piano keep the tempo like a bass. The piano plays the chords as the trombone plays consistent quarter notes which helps the whole ensemble keep time.

On New Years Eve, 1912, Louis Armstrong was celebrating the New Year with his family. At midnight he fired off a round of gunshot, and was immediately arrested for firing a gun. He was sent to Colored Waif's Home for Boys. It was here that he was encouraged to refine his cornet skills and take

At the very beginning of the piece, it was a little bit shaky as the brass was a little bit too loud over the winds. The alto solo at measure 5 was played over the band though and that set a good tone for the piece. At measure 13, there was a good blend between trumpets, trombones, and flutes. At measure 31, the clarinets and alto saxophones did a good job carrying the melody. At measure 51 the band did a good job of letting the trumpets play the melody in the piece. At measure 59, the trombones were the clear melody and they played at an appropriate dynamic marking. At measure 67, backgrounds were overplaying a bit and the nice flute melody was covered. The trumpets did a good job of controlling the melody at measure 73. At measure 101, the band did a good job of contrasting the flute melody because the other sections of the band came in quietly. The alto saxophone and clarinet melody at measure 120 was played above the rest of the band, but if could have been a little bit louder. From measures 128 to 140, it was hard to distinguish a certain melody. The trombone melody at measure 148 could have been cleaner and louder as it was hard to listen to in the recording. The rest of the piece had a good melody, though as it was mainly carried by trumpets and winds. Overall, the band blending could have been a little bit better, but it still sounded

If one was to go out into the street, walked up to a random stranger and asked them if they knew who Louis Armstrong was, chances are that they would be able to answer you correctly. Louis Armstrong (Aug 4th, 1901 - Jul 6th, 1971) was an American trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor who became one of the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned many decades, from the 1920s to his death in 1971, and many different eras in jazz. He first came to prominence in the 1920s as a trumpeter and cornet player with no technique as well as being very skilled in scat singing, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, influencing many later jazz artists as well as shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance.With his very well-known and recognizable gravelly voice, a technique that was later named “crooning”, Armstrong was an incredibly influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser by bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes on demand. Renowned for his charming and incredibly charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet and/or cornet playing, Armstrong 's influence extends far beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the early 1970s at his death, he was widely regarded as a deep and profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first very popular

Watching Louis Armstrong’s live performance in Berlin during the year 1965 was a pleasure, especially because I am a great fan of his music. Throughout the concert in Berlin, Armstrong and his chamber orchestra played 13 different pieces. With the exception of Jewel Woods’ entrance on vocals for two songs, the makeup of the chamber orchestra did not change throughout the concert. As a result, the cello, clarinet, drums, piano, trombone, and trumpet remained vital parts of each song throughout the concert.

Whiskey Lullaby is a song sung by Brad Paisley (ft. Alison Krauss) which narrates the story of a soldier coming back from war to find his wife in bed with another man. After this, the man drinks away his life trying to escape the pain until he commits suicide. Then the song continues to talk about how the woman follows down the same path after hearing about his death. In the end of the song they both get buried next to each other which symbolizes how they are finally together. The audience for this country song is those who have served or who have had family members serve. The unexpectedness of how life will figure itself out when the soldiers return. Also, how hard it is for families when their loved ones are out fighting, and they are

The judge sent him to a colored Waif’s Home for boys in the country. It was ran by a man that went by “Captain” Jones and ran it with a military esc style. He did not like the home initially, but then things started to change. He was actually getting regularly fed, clean clothes, and hygiene. There were many classes that the boys went to and learned practical skills, but his favorite was music class, taught by Professor Peter Davis, who initially did not like Louie due to being raised in the Battlefield. Armstrong couldn’t read music, but soon learned to play by ear. Davis also ran a brass band for the home that would perform at private events and in the streets of New Orleans. Louie would always sit in and listen to their rehearsal. He enjoyed the music and was very interested. After 6 months, Davis asked him to join the band. Louis started on the tambourine, quickly advancing to the drums, alto horn, bugle, and then finally the cornet. Armstrong was a quick learner and had a good ear for music. He would frequently improvise parts of songs, a huge feat for a
