Louis Armstrong was known as Pops, Dippermouth and Satchmo, the latter from "satchel mouth" (his childhood habit of keeping things in his mouth to prevent other kids from taking them). He was born in New Orleans on the August 4, 1901. His first horn was a cornet, but he became more famous playing jazz on his trumpet. Known to sweat profusely while singing under hot lights, Armstrong made his handkerchief a regular prop in his later performances. He is one of very few musical performers for whom a major airport has been named. On the 100th anniversary of his birth, the main aviation facility in New Orleans was officially renamed "Louis Armstrong International Airport."

Scat music IS jazz music not separate from it. It's simply made-up nonsense words sung to a tune instead of the lyric and often comprises an improvised chorus. Louis Armstrong was credited with inventing it when, so the story goes, his music manuscript with the lyric fell accidentally on to the floor during a recording session and instead of aborting the recording, Louis just made up some nonsense words but applying his usual musicality to the process. But, who was the first to call it "scatting" I haven't any idea.
Made music.
African American
he was famous because he was the first black man to play jazz all around the us
His favorite song that he made was "What A Wonderful World". It was his last hit of his jazz CD right before he died. He died in New York in 1901-1921! He died at the age of 69..."very young"
