[post_page_title]Louis and Lucille Armstrong in Egypt[/post_page_title]
Often thought of as one of the most influential jazz musicians, Louis Armstrong was a famous composer, singer, and trumpeter who delighted audiences from the 1920s through the 1960s. When this photograph was taken in 1961, Armstrong had already had an impressive career behind him.
He was playing his popular music all over the world, serving almost as a sort of ambassador for United States culture. Armstrong knew nothing about the politics in the region at the time, and refused to discriminate, happy to play for anyone who wanted to listen. In this picture, he is playing for his fourth and final wife Lucille Wilson, who was with him until his death in 1971.
