Luisas Armstrongas gimė Naujajame Orleane, labai skurdžioje juodaodžių šeimoje...  Jo sunki vaikystė turėjo didelės įtakos jo muzikai... Jis išmoko groti kornetu paauglių pataisos namuose (jį įkalino už tai, jog 1917 m. Naujųjų Metų naktį į dangų iššovė iš patėvio pistoleto), kiek vėliau Luisas Armstrongas pradėjo groti kornetui giminingu trimitu, o dainuoti pradėjo jau pagarsėjęs kaip trimitininkas...  1922 m. Luisas Armstrongas išvyko į Čikagą, tai buvo jo profesionalios karjeros pradžia...  Greitai jis tapo vienu žinomiausių džiazo atlikėju gimtojoje šalyje, o dabar jo vardas yra vienas geriausiai žinomų visame pasaulyje… Jis, tapo  džiazo simboliu…
