Satch

So many jazz greats but this guy could play trumpet and get down to all the low vocal notes. And with this amazing woman a match made in heaven for all jazz fans!

His trumpet blue breath

and his rich gravelly voice

will live forever.

Great artists> The darkness of your comment suits those dingy, smokey watering holes where true jazz was played. Cheers bro.

Louis and Ella together are some of my all time favorite songs. He was a superb entertainer. And together they were magical.

You’re very good at condensing an idea or mood like this, John. I love the expression ‘blue breath’ and the dual idea it creates in my mind. You’ve offered a fitting tribute to a great musician and showman here. His smile and spirit were infectious. And his trumpeteering is instantly recognizable.

Lovely work.

Thank you Eilis. I find his voice transforms my moods as does all trad jazz.

"Hello Dolly, this is Louis, Dolly...it's so nice to see you back where you belong...."
i like your tributes to jazz...even with jazz not being my favorite music...i love the Blues though.
