Louis Armstrong
 
Legendary late jazz trumpeter (1901-71) who brought New Orleans-style jazz to Chicago, and helped make the Windy City the jazz capital of the world. Arrived in Chicago in 1922 with Joe "King" Oliver (Armstrong's idol), and played at South Side clubs, including the Sunset Cabaret at 35th and Calumet.
