Did anyone mention the man who set the first cornerstone: Louie Armstrong?
- harlequino0
Louis Armstrong didn't set the first cornerstone at all. A genius and pioneer, yes. But he wouldn't have been what he became without the mentorship of King Oliver, as well as Freddie Keppard and Buddy Bolden. Those three guys in particular shaped the music from dixie and rag into the more recognizable blues and jazz that Armstrong pushed forward.
- Yeah, you're right. Louis was very innovative after those people.CyBrain

I love "My little suede shoes" by Charlie Parker. For years I would whistle the tune and couldn't remember where it was from... I actually thought for a while that it was a tune I'D come up with and stuck! Hahaha. That's the mark of a great jazz tune: Fun to listen to, virtuosic performance and a melody that follows you for years.
