“I never tried to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has always been my music, it's always come first, but the music ain't worth nothing if you can't lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience, 'cause what you're there for is to please the people.”

- Louis Armstrong, 1901-1971

American Jazz Trumpeter

There's always something special about live music, shared between an audience and performer. Regardless of the venue, big or small, the communication is unique and shouldn't be undervalued.
