Famous worldwide as Satchmo and Pops, Armstrong had revolutionized jazz in the 1920s with his superb #trumpetplaying which helped to change #jazz from an ensemble-oriented music to one that featured exciting #soloists. His phrasing on both trumpet and his very distinctive voice uplifted and swung every song that he interpreted. In the 1930s and early 1940s when he led a big band, Armstrong the entertainer blossomed. He was not only universally known for his #musical abilities but as a joyful and witty personality who could be seen in occasional movies. In 1947, he broke up his #orchestra and formed his sextet #LouisArmstrong and the All-Stars, becoming a #worldtraveler who was nicknamed #AmbassadorSatch. He introduced millions of listeners.

For those unfamiliar this is a sketch of wordsmith and musician Nick Cave. Felt like it'd be fitting to draw him over a bunch of definitions since, one of his most well-known practices besides making music alongside the Bad Seeds, was to keep a handwritten dictionary. Highly recommend his documentary about his creative process #20000daysonearth 🎤🎸 Love finding autodidacts and new creative heroes 📝🖤 #nickcave #nickcaveandthebadseeds #handwrittendictionary #autodidact #influentialmusicians #wordnerd #art #iamtransforming #iamflying #iamvibrating #iamglowing #lookatmenow #jubileestreet #pushawaythesky #scribbleforsanity #onthewritetrack

#BlackHistoryMonthChallenge #Day26 #InfluentialMusician Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 – 9 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a Grammy Award-winning South African singer and civil rights activist. In the 1960s, she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music around the world. Makeba campaigned against the South African system of apartheid. The South African government responded by revoking her passport in 1960 and her citizenship and right of return in 1963. As the apartheid system crumbled she returned home for the first time in 1990.
