Louis Armstrong (1901-1971), known as Satchmo (perhaps because he had a “satchel mouth”) became prominent in the 1920s as an American jazz trumpeter, gravelly-voiced jazz and scat singer. With charismatic stage presence and musical skill, Armstrong was influential in the development of improvisational jazz. During his career, Armstrong played in more than 20 movies.
