Unfinished Business from Last Meeting

Last week our meeting was about rock and roll. We went over our favorite rock and roll bands, but not our favorite songs by those bands. If time permits, we will revisit this.

Some interesting jazz facts

Miscellaneous Comments

  • Ryan: Due to his influence and technical ability, Louis Armstrong was a better jazz musician than Dizzy Gillespie
  • Brandon: Jazz music is the best genre because of the amount of freedom it gives musicians to experiment with different techniques and sounds
  • Pranav: Jazz has declined as a genre partially due to the modern preference for streaming music rather than live performance, which is fundamental to the identity of jazz
Louis Armstrong

This is Louis Armstrong, arguably the greatest jazz musician ever. A fun fact is that not only was he an incredible trumpet player, but he also had a very distinct gravelly voice that made his music very unique.


About the featured artist

Louis Armstrong was pretty lit and made good music. Isn't that neat.
