No one could say it quite like Louis Armstrong. He spins a tale as brilliantly as he blew his horn. That's what makes his autobiography—first published in 1954—such a treat. In Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans Louis recounts his days in the Crescent City until his move to Chicago in 1922. Historically it's a hugely important volume but it's also just about as entertaining a book on Jazz that has ever been written! With introduction by Dan Morgenstern. Da Capo paperback, 2001.
