Lillian Hardin "Lil" Armstrong was an influential American jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader. She was born on February 3, 1898, in Memphis, Tennessee. Lil Armstrong was a pioneering figure in the early development of jazz music, particularly in the Chicago jazz scene of the 1920s.

She gained recognition as the pianist and composer for her then-husband, Louis Armstrong's band, the Hot Five and the Hot Seven. Lil Armstrong's compositions, such as "Struttin' with Some Barbecue" and "Doin' the Suzie-Q," became jazz classics and showcased her distinctive piano style and innovative arrangements.

Beyond her contributions as a pianist, Lil Armstrong was a talented vocalist and a dynamic performer. She broke barriers as a female bandleader in a predominantly male-dominated industry and was known for her strong musical leadership and infectious energy on stage.

Lil Armstrong continued to be active in the jazz scene throughout her career, both as a solo artist and as a bandleader. She recorded several albums and performed with various bands, leaving a lasting impact on the jazz genre.

Lil Armstrong's contributions to jazz music, as a pianist, composer, and bandleader, helped shape the early foundations of the genre. Her legacy as a trailblazer for female musicians and her musical innovations continue to inspire and influence generations of jazz artists.

Note: I say I’m across from Marie Laveau’s house, but it’s the site where her house USED to be, before the city of New Orleans knocked it down. The new structure went up in 1905.
