LEARN & LISTEN: Louis Armstrong was a jazz trumpeter, bandleader and singer. Nicknamed "Satchmo," "Pops" and, later, "Ambassador Satch," was a native of New Orleans, Louisiana. An all-star virtuoso, he came to prominence in the 1920s, influencing countless musicians with both his daring trumpet style and unique vocals. Learn about him through this video biography:
