In addition to being a masterful musician, Armstrong was a memoirist and inveterate writer of letters, which Stricklin relied on for this look at the iconic American jazz musician. Music was his salvation. He tracks Armstrong through Prohibition, the Depression, both world wars, and the civil rights movements, as well as his marriages and associations with famed musicians. In Stricklin's biography, Louis Armstrong: The Soundtrack on the American Experience , he gives us a very compelling revisit to the total majesty of Louis Armstrong.
His book re-illuminates the greatness that he consistently displayed on trumpet and vocals but also puts the spotlight on Louis's impact on society and culture at large from the vantage point of a pioneering African-American artist.
His stances on mistreatment and injustices give us the full picture of Mr. Armstrong the human being and how we are deeply in his debt for showing us the way musically, socially, spiritually, and humanly!
