Yes, but he also referred to bop as "That modern malice" and "Chinese music" 
- maybe he mellowed in later years! Actually, I think it was Duke who said 
the good/bad thing: Louis did, however, famously reply to a lady who asked 
him if jazz was folk music "All music is folk music - I never heard a horse 
play anything!"
