Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong´s music was my first contact with jazz. I think it was the first time I experienced a song surrounding me. I was 7 years old and secretly I took a small mp3 that my mother used to work. Hardly knowing how to use it, I went into a random folder and a deep, broken voice began to play, which transformed into a beautiful trumpet melody. From that day on I started stealing my mother's mp3 whenever I could. I remember when, at the age of 11, at my first saxophone concert I played "Hello Dolly" very shakily, inspired by those memories. Today I already have my own mp3, and I would also like to dedicate this small 3d work to my child self, who at the age of 7 used to listen to that entire Louis Armstong music folder on loop every day, the stardust of jazz.
