Q: When Louis Armstrong moved from New
Orleans to Chicago in 1922 he was going to play with who’s band?
A: King Oliver. Joe Oliver was nicknamed
"King" because he was the King of jazz trumpet. That was until his
protege, Louis Armstrong, came on the scene. Louis had got his start playing
with King in New Orleans. King moved to Chicago and started his band there.
This gave Louis the opportunity to develop his unique ability for
improvisation. When Louis moved to Chicago to play with King's band, he was
suddenly the better player and was eventually convinced of this by the band's
pianist Lillian Hardin, whom Louis later married. She convinced him to go solo.
Q: Who was the Creole musician from New
Orleans who was the self-proclaimed "inventor" of jazz?
A: Jelly Roll Morton. Jelly Roll Morton
was a pianist and composer, and was undoubtedly one of the most influential and
original musicians in the beginnings of jazz music. His claim to being its
inventor, however, is somewhat dubious.
Q: Which president presented his State
of the Union six times in person and then two times in writing?
A: Woodrow Wilson delivered his first six
messages in person, but the final two -- after he had suffered a debilitating
stroke -- were sent in written form.
Q: Who was the first U.S. president to
be photographed while in office?
A: Feb. 14, 1849, James Polk became the
first. The photographer was Mathew
Brady, who is famous for his Civil War pictures.
