What is your opinion about him?


[ and edit, i didnt notice that in fact somebody talked about armstrong, bt still my opinion remains, i really feel a lot of times that people dont think of him in the same way that we talk about diz, miles or other giants, maybe it's just me, i hope so ! ]
Well I'm glad you went back to see that I had indeed mentionned Satchmo... I was kind of partly raised on his and Ellington's music (much less Ella, though), "fault" of my parentsTongue (hi daddyTongue), but I don't regret it ....  and although I don't EVER feel the urge of ever listening to him again, it doesn't mean that I don't consider him a giant of jazz

Satchmo is great. We just don't have a lot of fans of really old jazz, like 20s and 30s jazz.

Excellent, we've been needing more Bop fans around here, as for Satchmo, our own Matt has been going on about his new massive Armstrong CD collection he just picked up. I have a few reviews up for the guy, I actually have a couple of old Armstrong vinyls from the 50s.

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...
