* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: While his influence on jazz is undeniable, most audiences are familiar with his '50s/'60s crooner-era where he mostly sang crossover traditional pop and R&B ballads; his trumpet solos during this era also tended to be slower and simpler. It can be quite a shock for these audiences to listen to his more acclaimed '20s/'30s work, where he played fast-paced Dixieland jazz, mostly playing {{instrumentals}} with an occasional vocal here or two. His trumpet and cornet playing was also a lot faster and more intense around this period.

* GutturalGrowler: Armstrong's singing voice was famously gravelly, but no less expressive for that. It was less so when he was a young man – his 1928 wordless vocal duet with the clarinet in "West End Blues" will convince anyone that he was a great singer.
