I. Born on 4 August, 1901 into a world of poverty and inequality, Louis Armstrong was to become one of the most famous musicians of all time. Growing up in one of the poorest areas of New Orleans, he was forced to start work at the age of eleven in order to help his mother make ends meet. It was from the money he made selling coal and newspapers that he bought his first cornet. His interest in music was born.

II. Louis’ musical career took off a few years later as a result of his friendship with Joe Oliver, a man 15 years his senior and one of the first musicians to take jazz to different parts of the US. While Oliver went off on his travels, Louis often stood in for the older man and his reputation quickly spread. Then, when the infamous music halls of New Orleans closed down and most musicians found themselves out of work, Oliver was one of the first to establish himself in Chicago. It was not long before he asked Louis to join him.

III. While in Chicago, Louis met and married Lil Harding, Oliver’s ambitious and talented pianist. Shortly after their marriage, Lil convinced her husband that it was time to emerge from Oliver’s shadow, and Louis set off for New York where he joined Fletcher Henderson’s famous Big Band. The partnership, however, was short-lived and Louis soon returned to Chicago, where his wife was urging him to join her.

IV. Back in Chicago, Louis made a series of records with his wife on piano. As a result the “Hot Five” were born, with a sound that was to turn the world of jazz upside down. Rather than the traditional “front line” of trumpet, clarinet and trombone playing together all the time, Louis created space for each instrument to play extended solos. The next ten years were enjoyable and lucrative for Louis. By1929 the radio had helped him to break through to an even wider audience and he soon became a national star.

V. In the late 1940s Louis began moving away from the big band format and in 1947 he formed the All Stars – the band he was to lead for the rest of his life. Despite his increasing health problems, Louis made numerous influential records with the All Stars and he and his band remained in popular demand, appearing in films, on television and on stage. But on 6 July 1971 Armstrong died in his sleep in the small hours of the morning at his home in Corona, New York. The world had lost a great entertainer and the first great genius of jazz.

A41. Why did Louis go out to work when he was still very young?

1) His family was very poor.

2) He wanted to save up for music lessons.

3) He was interested in the newspaper business.

A42. Why did Louis move to Chicago?

1) Musicians were better paid there.

2) There was no work in New Orleans.

3) His wife was urging him to join her there.

A43. Why did Louis decide to separate from Joe Oliver?

1) Joe Oliver wanted to move to New York.

2) The two of them no longer got on.

3) He was persuaded to move on.

A44. How did the sound of “Hot Five” differ from traditional jazz music?

1) In “Hot Five” all the instruments were played at the same time.

2) In “Hot Five” the instruments sometimes played individually.

3) The sound of “Hot Five” was dominated by the trumpet.

A45. What helped Louis Armstrong to become known nationwide?

1) His records were on sale in every city in the USA.

2) The coming of radio meant that more people heard his music.

3) His music got excellent reviews in the national press.
