Louis Armstrong remains the undisputed king of jazz to his death, and never for a moment did not weaken his talent, does not dry out the force of its impact on listeners. His warmth and humor always made him dear and close to all with whom he met. Speaking on behalf of musicians and on behalf of the millions of admirers of his talent, Dizzy Gillespie stated: "Louis is not dead, because his music is, and will remain in the hearts of many millions of people around the world and in the game of hundreds of thousands of musicians who were his followers." While working on the essay, I have expanded my knowledge of jazz, its history, its creators — most notably, Louis Armstrong. I discovered the music of America, and America itself, not flashy, not a "shop window", from glossy magazine covers, and America ordinary people, from whom came Louis Armstrong. He is not among us. But with us is the unique sound of his trumpet and his voice is his sad eyes and a dazzling smile. The years passed. Eighty years after his birth jazz gained the status of an international language, which was loved and understood throughout the world. People still listen to Bach, read by Alexander Pushkin admired painting by Leonardo da Vinci was not only for the reason that they are hundreds of years, people continue to discover in them great meaning. The best works of Louis Armstrong today for about fifty years, but they continue to touch many people and in our days. Yes, for TV Jazz, feerichen little spectacle. However, he is not dead, lost in small concert halls and record collection for connoisseurs. After all, music is understood by all people of the earth. Together, let us hope that she will weave strong ties that unite people.
