      abstract = {Much has been written about Louis Armstrong, but the  majority of it focuses on the early and middle stages of  his long career. Now, Ricky Riccardi--jazz scholar and  musician--takes an in-depth look at the years in which  Armstrong was often dismissed as a buffoonish, if popular,  entertainer, and shows us instead the inventiveness and  depth of expression that his music evinced during this  time. These are the years (from after World War II until  his death in 1971) when Armstrong entertained crowds around  the world and recorded his highest-charting hits, including  "Mack the Knife" and "Hello, Dolly!"; years when he  collaborated with, among others, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke  Ellington, and Dave Brubeck; when he recorded with strings  and big bands, and, of course, with the All Stars, his  primary recording ensemble. Riccardi makes clear that these  were years in which Armstrong enhanced his legacy as one of  jazz's most influential figures.--From publisher  description.},
