In 1990, Milt Hinton wrote this about Louis Armstrong:
"Louis was from New Orleans, but he moved to Chicago and became a star when I was still in knee pants. I was overjoyed when he asked me to join his band in the early '50s. Playing with him and getting to know him personally was a dream come true. Music was his life and he communicated his love to audiences around the world better than anyone I ever knew."
