RE: “Saint Louis Blues,” by Louis Armstrong … (Jazz / Blues / Ice Hockey Championship! – Music to Your Ears–17)
This is simply beautiful and classic. It's a rare musical genre, or so it seems. The intro musical is captivating and romantic to the ears. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, rather rare. It's a bit bluesy, a bit jazzy. But when it first came out, it was actually called "ragtime."
That style was based on marches with some African rhythms added in.
It's interesting to know these fine facts about this genre, especially that it has some African influences. Once again, thanks for sharing.
