Discover the dynamic story of iconic cornet and trumpet player Louis Armstrong on his journey to becoming a king of jazz and one of America's most influential musicians.

Presenting Who HQ Graphic Novels: an exciting addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling Who Was? series!

Follow Louis Armstrong as he joins Fate Marable’s riverboat band on the Dixie Belle and navigates the racial tensions of segregation while bringing innovative hot jazz to audiences beyond New Orleans. A story of new horizons, determination, and musical growth, this graphic novel highlights how Louis honed his improvisational flair and improved his ability to read music on his way to becoming one of jazz music’s most celebrated pioneers. Music notes fly off the page as lively, full-color illustrations work in perfect harmony with this electric narrative.
