Speaking & writing
Louis Armstrong 路易斯·阿姆斯特朗 纵观LOUIS ARMSTRONG的音乐人生,他成功地跨过了艺术和娱乐的分界线。正好JAMES LINCLON COLLIER在他的书中(LOUIS ARMSTRONG: AN AMERICAN GENIUS(OXFORD UNIVERSITY,1984))所说:对于全世界成百上千成的人还说他就是欢乐,一个渴望快乐的艺人。他用他的歌表达自己,说些笑话,时不时也演奏小号,以及有个性的滑稽小品。在更深奥的JAZZ艺术上,他被认为是最重要和最有影响力的人,一个在塑造JAZZ艺术形态方面,比别人做的更多,给予无数音乐家以灵感的人物.
爵士音乐巨人,永垂不朽
阿姆斯壮最被人熟知的歌曲莫过於後期的"What A Wonderful World",他沙哑的演唱如同他的小喇叭吹奏一般令人怀念。 路易.阿姆斯壮,从1901年8月4日出生於纽奥良到1971年心脏衰竭逝世为止的七十年岁月里留下无数的录音,这位爵士巨人,也是摇滚先驱者的作品一再被後人重新出版,於是他的知名度历久不衰。
