It was a teacher at the Colored Waifs Home who gave him a cornet, promoted him to band leader, and saw talent in the tough kid from the even tougher New Orleans neighborhood called Storyville. But it was Louis Armstrong's own passion and genius that pushed jazz into new and exciting realms with his amazing, improvisational trumpet playing. His seventy-year life spanned a critical time in American music as well as black history.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Yona Zeldis McDonough</b> is the author of the novels <i>You Were Meant For Me</i>, <i> Two of a Kind</i>, <i> A Wedding in Great Neck</i>, <i>Breaking the Bank</i>, <i> In Dahlia's Wake</i>, and <i>The Four Temperaments</i>, as well as nineteen books for children.
