“The fiery “Hotter Than That” is one of Louis Armstrong masterpieces. Played at a flying tempo,. The opening trumpet solo is a brilliant example of developing a melodic idea, all with a dynamic sound and sophistication swing”. Armstrong advanced rhythmic sense is in full display as he sings behind the beat and then intensifies the rhythm with a brilliant series of dotted quarter notes which get further and further off the beat.

The work “Hotter Than That” one of Louis Armstrong masterpieces by the band: Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings made him a famous musician by 1925-28 by this Armstrong emerged as the first great jazz soloist, he single-handedly invented a compelling, propulsive, rhythmic inflection in his playing that came to be called “Swing”. Armstrong was considered as the most influential jazz musician of all time when he taught the whole world about swing and also had a profound effect on the development of jazz. Armstrong was a great trumpeters not only a trumpeter but trombonists, saxophonists, singers (such as Billie Holiday) and even a pianists just like the wife lil Hardy who played the Piano in Hotter Than That. Armstrong soars while most of his band-mate can barely get off the ground”.

Louis Armstrong trumpeter style of play brought a whole new dynamism to jazz band, in his era the work was typical because he was the” first great jazz soloist consider as most the influential jazz musician of all, trumpeter soloist, someone that single-handedly invented a compelling, propulsive, rhythmic inflection in his playing that came to be called the swing. He was the dominant influence on the swing era in 1900’s.

Armstrong artistic and technical prowess to jazz music makes his work innovative and unusual, his technique was superior to that of all competitors, altogether his immensely compelling swing; his brilliant technique; his sophisticated, daring sense of harmony; his ever-mobile, expressive attack, timbre, and inflection; his gift for creating vital melodies; his dramatic, often complex sense of solo design; and his out sized musical energy and genius made these recordings major innovation in jazz”.

Armstrong even when paired with other soloists or with orchestral exerted a wide-range of influence on all manners of players playing with him, “his method and technique of play, the dramatic, his gift of creating vital melodies, expressive attack and more uniquely Armstrong become popular through his ingenious ensemble lead and the second cornet lines, his cornet duet passages (“called breaks”) with olive, and his solos all these in introduced in masterpiece ‘Hotter Than That”. And also his immensely compelling swing he invented in the artistic world of jazz”. Makes his work received in his time and today.

People today think of the artistic and technical work of jazz by Armstrong “Hotter Than That” as one of the best masterpiece of the Hot Five and Hot Seven jazz Band Group. And with this he taught the whole world about “Swing”. They think Armstrong as the most influential jazz musician of all time. Armstrong introduces jazz to the whole world; he popularized what came to be called “scat”, a universally comprehensive art form that needed no translation. The receptions then and today for Armstrong music was universally accepted, there was never a dull moment when listening to father of jazz music inventor of swing.

That Armstrong was a creative, an artistic genius, . That “Hotter Than That” was having no contemporaries, that with this work he invented the swing, introduced the scat style of play. “The art form that needed no translation, his unique singing style, his vocalization of his improvisatory trumpet playing, played a crucial role in hotter than that. What specifically meaningful about Armstrong, is that, first and foremost he is the first jazz soloist, the leading trumpeter soloist, the first to invent the “swing” method of play, the one that popularized what came to be called “scat” today, and above all else, his swing-style trumpet playing influenced virtually all jazz horn players who followed him, and the swing and rhythmic suppleness of his vocal style were important influences on singers from Billie Holiday to Bing Crosby”.

The “Hotter Than That” masterpiece can be compared to Armstrong some other work style such as “the Struttin’ with Some Barbecue", "Wild Man Blues", and "Potato Head Blues”. Armstrong has no contemporaries rather his work was  improved upon by his followers, Armstrong unique way of trumpeting has no equals, he is the first superstar of jazz soloist of his kind, he is a jazz ambassador he introduce jazz to the world, he is the inventor of swing, in his era his own wife testify of that too that among those playing in her band non was as talented as Louis Armstrong, Louis Armstrong was a phenomenon. “He popularized what came to be called “scat” a method of singing without words or texts, a universally comprehensible art form that needed no translation”.

The innovation and creative style of play Armstrong introduced into the world of Jazz, the approach of playing the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, the swing method and the popularization of scat. And the way he uniquely play the cornet lines makes him outstanding, his expressive attack when playing the trumpet, his gift of creating vital melodies etc.

When you listen to the music “Hotter Than That” you will agree with me that this work by Armstrong is highly technical and demands immerse strength.  He introduced the “swing” style and the “scat” method to this music that made him famous. He is the first Jazz soloist, famous on recordings and in theaters, he more than anyone else carried the message of jazz to America.

The “Hotter Than That” should be preserved due to unique style of play, background vocalization, introducing the “scat” method after trumpeting that needed no translation, and also the rhythmic inflection in his play that is called the “swing”.
