Biographie

Louis Armstrong, né le 4 août 1901 à La Nouvelle-Orléans en Louisiane et mort le 6 juillet 1971 à New York, également connu sous les surnoms de « Dippermouth », « Satchmo » (pour satchel-mouth, littéralement bouche-sacoche) et « Pops », est un musicien américain de jazz.

D'une musique de folklore afro-américaine enracinée dans le gospel et le blues traditionnel et enfermée dans un terroir, Armstrong a fait un courant musical national et populaire à vocation universelle.

Son talent de trompettiste, son charisme, ses qualités d'homme de scène et sa personnalité généreuse ont forgé au fil du temps sa renommée internationale. Il a créé un nouveau style vocal, le scat, ce qui a fait de lui l'un des chanteurs de jazz les plus influents de son époque.

Durant plus de quarante ans, de tournées en tournées, Louis Armstrong restera le meilleur ambassadeur du jazz à travers le monde entier.

Louis Armstrong meurt d’un arrêt cardiaque pendant son sommeil à son domicile de New York (devenu depuis Maison musée de Louis Armstrong) le 6 juillet 1971, à l’âge de 69 ans, onze mois après son célèbre show à l’Empire Room du Waldorf Astoria. Il repose au cimetière de Flushing à New York, voisin de sa dernière demeure.
