Hey Rederic,
Louie can really get low down and sad with his blues as well..
Check out the tune by Louis Arrmstrong "Black and Blue"
makes you want to cry...if that's what you're looking for in
your blues...
Louie was one of the first great interpreters
to bring Blues into Jazz, prior to that it was done by W.C. Handy
and Bessie Smith.
Glad you enjoyed Louie,
