In this investigation I will attempt to compare the personal lives of two of the most famous and influential jazz artists of all time, Louis Armstrong and Etta James in this which is about finding music, their stylistic similarities and I will also compare four of their most famous tracks. In Armstrong's case this track is 'What a Wonderful World' and 'We Have All the Time in the World' and for Etta James I will analyze and compare 'At Last' and 'I Love You This Long'.Louis Armstrong was born on August 4, 1901 in New Orleans. Armstrong spent his childhood in poverty, living with his family in an area of ​​New Orleans known as the Uptown neighborhood. , young Louis did not enjoy the finer things in life than others his age living elsewhere in the United States from an early age, Armstrong was taken in by what Armstrong called his "second family." Armstrong developed a strong passion for music and began taking cornet lessons at a young age. Armstrong continued to develop his cornet performance and began playing in local marching bands. Louis' musicality slowly began to grow. One of Armstrong's most relatable hits is "What a Wonderful World", written by Bob Thiele. The song itself is relatively short, lasting only 2 minutes and 20 seconds. The song is written in ternary form, with the melody played by an acoustic guitar and strings. The first melodic idea begins the song before a developmental passage which leads to the return of the original melodic idea which plays until the end of the song. The instrumentation of the song is typical of jazz pieces from this period, involving an acoustic guitar, strings, brass and obviously Armstrong's v...... middle of paper ...l than the other. Both artists achieved many successes throughout their careers, and what can be said is that without the presence of Armstrong or James, jazz as a genre might not have not grown to have as large an audience as today, and it can be the same. be applied to modern music today, as many popular artists on today's charts have been heavily influenced by jazz and the work of Louis Armstrong and Etta James. Given all that has been said, it is most likely universally agreed by fans of jazz and popular music that the country might not be where it is today without the influence of Armstrong and James, and the same can be said for the music of the future in the sense that the work left by Armstrong and James will go a long way to influencing the artists of the future, and even the music they create.
