{"product_id":"who-was-louis-armstrong","title":"WHO WAS LOUIS ARMSTRONG?","description":"If not for a stint in reform school, young Louis Armstrong might never have become a musician. It was a teacher at the Colored Waifs Home who gave him a cornet, promoted him to band leader, and saw talent in the tough kid from the even tougher New Orleans neighborhood called Storyville. But it was Louis Armstrong's own passion and genius that pushed jazz into new and exciting realms with his amazing, improvisational trumpet playing. His seventy-year life spanned a critical time in American music as well as black history.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0448433680\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31URM800B905_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McDonough, Yona Zeldis|Who HQ|O'Brien, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
