Louis Armstrong on His Chops

Even if we had two, three days off I still had to blow that horn a few hours to keep up the chops. ~Louis Armstrong

Danny Kaye & Louis Armstrong, scatting together

Apropos of nothing, except the fact that—had he lived—Danny Kaye would have turned 100 this year. Mind you, had he lived, Louis Armstrong would have turned 112.

Here we have those two great artists improvising and scatting around the song, "When the saints go marching in."
