[Dixielandjazz] Satchmo and H.L. Clarke

[Mike]

Who else but Louis could have been capable of such mastery at 
that time period?

I, as a student of jazz and avid listener of Louis Armstrong 
from all time periods don't believe he copied it from anyone else.

He might have received inspiration from many sources or not. But 
the finish product was his without a doubt.

Just my two cents.
