If you don't understand it, don't mess with it.
Louis Armstrong
All them weird chords which don't mean a thing...you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to
Louis Armstrong
When I go to the Gate, I'll play a duet with Gabriel. Yeah, we'll play 'Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Hello, Dolly!.' Then he can blow a couple that he's been playing up there all the time.

Jazz is what I play for a living.
Louis Armstrong
A lot of the musicians asked me if when I hit my high-Cs on the records I had a clarinet take the notes. Some [thought] I had invented some kind of gadget so I could play high register. They weren't satisfied until they handed me a trumpet that they had with them and had me swing it. Then they cheered.
Louis Armstrong
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans. When that's where you left your heart. The moonlight on the bayou a creole tune that fills the air. I dream about magnolias in bloom and I'm wishin' I was there.
Louis Armstrong
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
Louis Armstrong
If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.
Louis Armstrong
