    About this ebook

    A 20th century jazz prodigy with a supreme talent for improvisation, Louis Armstrong would sing anything. He never gave less than a heartfelt vocal performance and people loved him for it. This unique collection celebrates some of his best and most famous recordings.

    The pioneering jazzman happily tackled a wide range of popular songs; in addition to self-penned jazz numbers like Back O’ Town Blues and I Want A Butter And Egg Man, Armstrong recorded Thiele and Weiss’s What A Wonderful World and the James Bond film song We Have All The Time In The World.

    Designed for intermediate pianists, this digital edition is the perfect way to discover the music behind one of the 20th century’s true pioneers. An integrated Spotify playlist is included to allow you to listen as you learn.

      They Got Rhythm: The Interwar British Dance Bands Who Pointed Towards Pop

      May 4, 2022

      In the 1920s and 1930s, boiling hot American jazz didn’t really suit the British reserve. So Britain created something of its own: the dance band, a regional variant whose seeds had been sown back in 1919 when the riotous Original Dixieland Jazz Band
