of the twentieth centruy. A phenomenally gifted and imaginative
artist, he also wrote the finest of all jazz
autobiographies--without a collaborator--and created collages that
have been compared to the art of Romare Bearden. The ranks of his
admirers included Jean Renoir and Le Corbusier "He is mathematics,
equilibrium on a tightrope. He is Shakespearean!". Virgil Thomson
called him "a master of musical art." Stuart Davis, whose abstract
paintings were full of jazz-inspired imagery, cited him as a "Model
of greatness."
Wall Street Journal arts columnist Terry Teachout, author of
previous biographies of George Balanchine and H.L. Mencken, has
drawn on a cache of sources previously unavailable, including
hundreds of reels of recordings of backstage and after-hour
conversations that Armstrong made throughout his career, newly
uncovered material about Armstrong''s early life, and Armstrong''s
own writings, to craft a sweeping new narrative biography of this
towering figure. This is going to be the last word on Armstrong in
our lifetime--it''s a portrait of the man, his world, and his music
that will stand alongside Gary Giddins'' Bing Crosby and Peter
Guralnick''s works on Elvis Presley as a classic biography of a
major American musician.
