Musicians don't retire they stop when there's no more music in them.
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
It makes you feel good, man, makes you forget all the bad things that happen to a Negro. It makes you feel wanted, and when you're with another tea smoker, it makes you feel a special kinship.
Louis Armstrong
What we play is life.
Louis Armstrong
There's only two ways to sum up music either it's good or it's bad. If it's good you don't mess about it, you just enjoy 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
