Louis Armstrong - the eternal father of jazz. What he left to the world is his trinity - trumpet playing skills + innovative singing methods + onomatopoeic stunts. He has experienced almost the entire development trajectory of modern jazz; his playing and singing style is as light as moonlight, but not lacking in Romance and passion; his style influenced later generations of jazz music and American music, and he became the guide of American emotions. Armstrong is as important to jazz as Bach is to classical music and Presley is to rock music.
