在阿姆斯壯之前,沒有任何一個人曾經用他獨特的方式來吹奏小號。他是爵士音樂史上最偉大的獨奏家之一。與當時的其他音樂形式相比,他的獨奏曲不但有趣,而且充滿創新的感受。他不但不依照樂譜演奏,而且還即興修改樂譜。這種演奏的形式奠定了後來出現之爵士音樂的基礎。 

阿姆斯壯也是一種特殊唱腔的創始者。你知道現在我們把這種唱腔稱為什麼嗎?



No one before Armstrong had ever played the trumpet the way that he did. He was one of the first great soloists of jazz music. The solos he played were as interesting and innovative as any music written at the time. Rather than follow notes on a page, he improvised, playing what was in his head instead. This type of playing laid the foundation for all jazz to come.

Armstrong also pioneered a type of singing. Do you know what it was called?
