The face of jazz

Julian Hesse devotes himself to the music and, together with Claus Reichstaller, to the life of the "King of Jazz". The trumpeter and bandleader Louis Armstrong shaped the early decades of the new music form like no other. His trumpet sound was just as unmistakable as his voice. Based on New Orleans jazz, he created an individual sound with various band formations. He was described as the most important American musician of the 20th century.
