Supplemental context
The Louis Armstrong House Museum's biography follows learning, mentorship and ensemble work before and after the 1920 s recordings. It identifies Lil Hardin Armstrong's role in encouraging an independent career and describes the importance of instrumental solos and vocals. Future readers should preserve those relationships alongside an individual star. The original phrase defined jazz is a broad tribute, not evidence that one musician alone created a genre; recordings also carry the labour of other performers and production workers.
Creator/community: Louis Armstrong; collaborators including Lil Hardin Armstrong, King Oliver and changing ensembles Place/era: United States;New Orleans/Chicago and international career, 1901–1971
