Lil Hardin Armstrong
Born:
Lil Hardin helped introduce America to jazz music. She was a dedicated jazz pianist, who established a reputation as "Hot Miss Lil," one of the few female band ensemble members of the 1920’s. She played on many of the first jazz recordings ever made and she wrote many of the early songs of the jazz era. Though she might be identified in the jazz world as the wife of Louis Armstrong, she was much more than that. Lil Armstrong was born Lillian Beatrice Hardin on February 3, 1898. Her grandmother, Priscilla Thompson, was born into slavery in 1850 in Lafayette County near Oxford, Mississippi. Her parents separated when Armstrong was very young

Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five
Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five were a pioneering jazz ensemble formed in 1925, often regarded as one of the most influential groups in the history of jazz. The band, led by Armstrong on cornet, featured notable musicians such as clarinetist Johnny Dodds, trombonist Kid Ory, and pianist Lil Hardin.
