　　The first account—prodigiously researched, richly detailed—of

the last remarkable twenty-five years of the life and art of one of

America’s greatest and most beloved musical icons.

Much has been written about Louis Armstrong, but most of it

focuses on the early and middle stages of his long career. Now,

Ricky Riccardi—jazz scholar and musician—takes an in-depth look at

the years in which Armstrong was often dismissed as a buffoon?ish,

if popular, entertainer, and shows us instead the inventiveness and

depth of expression that his music evinced during this time.

These are the years (from after World War II until his death in

1971) when Armstrong entertained crowds around the world and

recorded his highest-charting hits, including “Mack the Knife” and

“Hello, Dolly”; years when he collaborated with, among others, Ella

Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Dave Brubeck; when he recorded with

strings and big bands, and, of course, with the All-Stars, his

primary performing ensemble for more than two decades. And Riccardi

makes clear that these were years in which Armstrong at once

burnished and enhanced his legacy as one of jazz’s most influential

figures.

Here, finally, is a book—eminently readable, in?formative, and

insightful—that enlarges, and com?pletes, our understanding of a

peerless musical genius of commanding influence as both an

instrumentalist and a vocalist.
