对于那些你们谁看见唐顿庄园上个赛季，你看到玫瑰带来爵士乐队（主唱杰克·罗斯），以顿，许多不仅是因为杰克的比赛令人震惊，而且音乐本身。
其实，我对爵士乐写这篇文章之前，知道得很少。在唐顿庄园情节吸引了我，我也渴望了解更多。幸运的是，我在大风工作，并有机会获得那金宝搏彩票些让我做了研究几个非常优秀的资源。
I am familiar with the sound as well as some tidbits regarding its leading musicians like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong, but I was not aware jazz has a rather long tradition, dating prior to this particular Downton Abbey episode, with most sources citing New Orleans as its birthplace in the late nineteenth century.
在做GVRL经过一番搜索，我的兴趣被激发了起来。爵士乐我读的条目都提到路易斯·阿姆斯特朗的贡献（他们应该），所以我bopped到传语境中学习更多。出生于1901（爵士乐日以后出生），路易斯·阿姆斯特朗出生于赤贫。他曾作为一个孩子，直到12岁，他被送到了彩色流浪儿之家作为一个不良少年。有趣的是，这不是他送往有色流浪儿之家第一次。最近从首页的一些文件中发现引用的早期磨合法律，在1910年，当时他只有九岁。
Rather than letting his poverty define him or his trouble with the law, Louis Armstrong learned how to play cornet in the Home’s band, listened intently (and learned) from leading jazz artists in his teens, and played in several bands as he came into adulthood. By the time 1930 rolled around, Louis Armstrong was famous and toured all over the United States and Europe.
渴望看到他是如何在当时的报纸描绘，我参加了大风NewsVault看看。金宝搏彩票领导英国报纸有趣的是不要提他的任何细节。他们提到的人模仿（或嘲弄）他在其他的行为，但没有多少赞美他有才华的表演方式。伦敦新闻画报，例如，只提到了他作为一个演员的笑话的笑柄。泰晤士报（伦敦）提到他在20世纪30年代出现在不同的剧院，但没有太多外界的那个。这真的不是直到记者决定去防他更详细地20世纪50年代。And interestingly enough, that is when he started to become one of the most beloved musicians and entertainers in the world, and in fact toured extensively on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, receiving an enthusiastic response wherever he went, even though the military was in turmoil over segregation and desegregation.
I did find this great piece from Liberty Historical Archive that features an interview, which provides a brief insight into Armstrong’s childhood; he talks about “hustling ‘stone’ coal after school” along a route until he’d get to Pete Lala’s cabaret where he’d stand inconspicuously outside while he listened to King Oliver’s band.
One interesting article from the BBC’s The Listener had little praise for Armstrong and preferred Duke Ellington by far, “The first time I heard Louis Armstrong’s records I was fascinated by the virtuosity of the frills he put round the tune; but after a few hearings I soon became bored by the monotony of the harmonic framework underneath.”
Do the newspapers of the time represent a similar attitude to what I watched on Downton Abbey towards a black man’s success and a music genre very different than what they are used to? Is it similar to how the Crawley’s and Grantham’s react to Jack Ross’ appearance? There seems acknowledgement that he exists, but very little deliberate attention.
Be that so, a man, who comes from almost nothing, excepting his exceptional skill and motivation is truly inspiring. It is good to know that his legacy has survived despite the lack of press at the beginning of his career. Taking a look at Armstrong’s life and success leads us to consider that there is more in us than we sometimes believe, and thankfully both Armstrong and others recognized what he had to offer as he developed into quite possibly the most recognized name in jazz’s history. Armstrong’s contributions to the history of music in the United States are unmatched.
