Struttin' With Some Barbeque

Struttin' With Some BarbequeThis is the true story of Lil Hardin Armstrong: pianist, composer, and bandleader in the early days of jazz. Ahead of her time, Lil made a career for herself and for Louis Armstrong, her modest, unassuming husband. Louis might never have become the groundbreaking jazz player he was, if it hadn't been for Lil. Scat inspired verse celebrates how Lil overcame race and gender barriers to become the first lady of the Chicago jazz scene. Author: Patricia
