Writing was never an incidental activity for Louis Armstrong, but something he did almost every day in the form of letters, notes, memoirs, and annotations. Armstrong was a very vivid and candid writer, but until this book was published his most personal reflections were known only to researchers. Thomas Brothers has collected them in this book that will prove indispensable to anyone who wants to understand the genius who transformed American music.
