, bEB B'S not enough art IN our SCHoo

NO WONDER PEOPLE THINK
LOUIS ARMSTRONG
WAS THE FIRST MAN TO
WALK ON THE MOON.
It’s a long way from the Apollo
Theatre to the Apollo program.
And while his playing may have
been “as lofty as a moon flight,”
as Time magazine once suggested,
that would be as close as Louis
Daniel Armstrong would ever get
to taking “one small step for man.”
But as the ja^z, musician of the
20th century, giant
Instead of a giant leap, Louis Armstrong delivered
one giant free-form crazy j^ZZ groove for mankind.
leaps were simply a matter of course for
Satchmo. For no one has ever embodied
, , r . the art form the way he did. It was he
Armstrong left his
footprints on the jazz world,
wearing lace-up oxfords. who helped make virtuoso solos a part
of the vocabulary. It was he who was honored with
the title “American goodwill ambassador” by the State
Department. It was he who was the last jaz,z; musician
to hit #i on the Billboard pop chart.
Not bad for a kid whose first experience with
the trumpet was as a guest in a
correctional home for wayward
boys. If only today’s schools were
as enlightened and informed as
that reformatory was.
Alas, the arts are dismissed as
extravagant in today’s schools.
This, despite all the studies that
show parents believe music and
dance and art and drama make
their children much better students and better people.
If you feel like your kids aren’t
getting their fair share, make
some noise. To find out how,
or for more information about
the benefits of arts education,
please visit us on the web at
AmericansForTheArts.org. Just like the great Louis
Armstrong, all you need is a little brass.
