Jazz Artist of the Week
Louis Armstrong - Vocals

Not only did Louis Armstrong change the course of popular jazz music, he also is one of the most influential singers in American history. His vocal style is so distinctive that most people in the world can identify his voice! He was the first person to record the vocal style known as "scat singing." His vocal phrasing and improvisation influenced every American popular singer that came after. Once you hear Armstrong, there is no going back!
