在阿姆斯壮之前,没有任何一个人曾经用他独特的方式来吹奏小号。他是爵士音乐史上最伟大的独奏家之一。与当时的其他音乐形式相比,他的独奏曲不但有趣,而且充满创新的感受。他不但不依照乐谱演奏,而且还即兴更改乐谱。这种演奏的形式奠定了后来出现之爵士音乐的基础。 

阿姆斯壮也是一种特殊唱腔的创始者。你知道现在我们把这种唱腔称为什么吗?



No one before Armstrong had ever played the trumpet the way that he did. He was one of the first great soloists of jazz music. The solos he played were as interesting and innovative as any music written at the time. Rather than follow notes on a page, he improvised, playing what was in his head instead. This type of playing laid the foundation for all jazz to come.

Armstrong also pioneered a type of singing. Do you know what it was called?
