NOTES:
The first and only biography of the pioneering jazz songwriter, bandleader, and pianist, LIL HARDIN ARMSTRONG.
Born in Memphis, Lil was, by her early twenties, the most sought-after jazz pianist in Chicago, playing first with Freddie Keppard's watershed Creole Jazz Band and later with King Oliver's world-famous Creole Jazz Band. She was already well established in Chicago as a pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader before she met and married Louis Armstrong in 1924.
Just for a Thrill, based on original research and interviews, is more than a revealing biography of a jazz pioneer. It is also an unforgetable story of love found and lost, for though Louis divorced her and remarried, she never forgot him. Lil Hardin Armstrong died of a heart attack while performing during a tribute to Louis in 1971.
