His illness that sidelined him for over a year in late 1968 was a wake-up call for Louis. He suffered a heart attack in 1959 but everyone said it was pneumonia, which in later years was found to not be true. He did suffer a heart attack in 1959 and he kept relentlessly pushing himself. He wore special support stockings starting in at least the mid 1960’s. I worked as a telecommunications technician from 1981-2014. One customer was Jobst, a medical company in Toledo, Ohio. We were doing some work there around 1982. There was a framed letter from Louis Armstrong telling the Jobst company how their stockings kept him standing righteous. People with heart trouble wear support stockings to keep their legs from swelling from fluid retention, a sign of heart and kidney trouble. I know, I had a heart attack in 2018 coupled with advanced kidney disease diagnosed in 2016. I played tenor saxophone. I quit after the heart attack in 2018. I kept losing my breath. So I can tell that Louis had serious problems with losing his breath when he was playing trumpet. He lost his power and fire. In fact his hesitant solo on Pretty Little Missy recorded in 1969, the flip side to “We Have All The Time In The World” would be the last time he played trumpet in a studio recording.

@@dougobrien4877 Yeah, it's a shame he spread himself so thin like that. I couldn't do it.

@@JazzFan76I had a serious heart attack in 2018 and it damaged my left ventricle to the point that I could no longer play saxophone.

@@dougobrien4877 I'm sorry you had to go through that.

A ma connaissance, les 2 sont de 1990.

Ou Alvin Queen avec Jimmy Wood (b) ? J'avoue que je ne sais pas .

Bravo à Jean-Pierre ! L'oeil du maître !

Rien à jeter dans ce morceau d'anthologie...

Exact ! Limoges '92. Je n'y étais pas mais je l'ai vu à d'autres reprises, en particulier au Méridien à Paris; je me souviens avoir demandé à un couple voisin de notre table s'ils pouvaient s'arrêter de discuter pendant le temps de cette interprétation...je ne les ai plus entendus de la soirée...et pourtant j'ai réussi à être très poli dans ma demande...
