12115/​7

Unknown photographer: An original b/w press photograph of the American jazz musician Louis Armstrong (1901–1971). Back with stamped publication dates (July 7, 1971, September 4, 1978). Photo size 22.5×20 cm. Frame size 43×33 cm.

Louis Armstrong - whose popularity among jazz lovers has never been surpassed - can even today be identified on the basis of a few tones, both as a singer and an instrumentalist. And even though that younger generations of jazz musicians have found new inspiration, their role models - or perhaps the role models of the role models - have surely had Louis Armstrong as a role model!

Condition

This is an original b/w press photograph from 1971 or earlier, which has yellowed slightly (front and back) due to ageing/storage conditions. Furthermore normal signs of handling.
