Description

The childhood of Louis Armstrong was once as fascinating as the nice musician himself-and this chapter book biography tells it like never before. Play, Louis, Play! is written from the standpoint of Louis’ closest companion all the way through his youth-his horn! In a jazz-inflected, exuberant voice, this atypical narrator tells it all, starting with the small New Orleans hock shop where little Louis bought his first trumpet for five hard-earned dollars.

As Louis is going from a street quartet to the marching band of the Colored Waif ‘s Home to the large sounds of New Orleans jazz clubs, writer Muriel Harris Weinstein creates a moving portrait of the jazz legend. Features a detailed writer’s note, thesaurus of jazz terms, and bibliography.
