The true wellspring of modern music! Defined as popular music after 1920 (before 1920 opera and classical dominated recordings and audience levels - those forms were set long before the modern recordings, radio and movies existed.) Starting in the 1920s this man... Started solo playing set apart from a backup group (Hot 5s and 7s). Every lead trumpeter, clarinet player, etc. followed this man's musical patterns. First to really take advantage of the microphone in a modern way both with instrument and vocals. Solo scatting (Heebie Jeebies). Proteges (Holiday, Crosby, Sinatra) that spawned the rest of the pop vocalists. Set the pattern for artists in Jazz, Swing, Pop Vocals, for decades which led to all other hybrids (Rock included). Early crossover in to Radio, Movies, etc. The "Pops" of American music. KING LOUIS ARMSTRONG! Whistle While You Work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vx64fSAqhI
