Having come from a poor family in New Orleans, Armstrong began to perform with bands in small clubs, and play at funerals and parades around town in New Orleans. He wasn't a small band man for long, though. Louis Armstrong was invited in 1922 to move to Chicago, to play the second cornet in a Creole Jazz Band. However, just two years later, Armstrong moved to New York City, and began playing his music with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra at the Roseland Ballroom. In 1929, he made his first appearance on the Broadway stage. In his recording of Ain't Misbehavin, he used a pop song, however, interpreted it through jazz. This helped to set the stage for the acceptance of jazz music in the future.]]> 2018-02-15 16:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/19minerk/vhkz4zsujgcs/wish/232005981 19minerk https://padlet.com/19minerk/vhkz4zsujgcs/wish/232011554 The Renaissance brought out a lot of expression of the African Americans and their struggles and experiences this was brought out through art and music.
