Can anybody correct my mistakes? It's for a writting exam. Thank you!! A splendid jazz show is now in Madrid in the new edition of the JAZZMADRID festival paying tribute to Louis Armstrong in the show "Moon River" that proves that his talent is absolutely unforgettable for jazz lovers Born in a guetto in New Orleans in 1901 in a very poor family Armstrong had a difficult childhood. His father abandoned the family soon after Louis's birth and his mother, who often turned to prostitution, frequently left him with his grandmother. Before long, he quit school and worked selling newspapers and delivering coal to support their family. By the end of his teens Armstrong began to develop an interest in music. It was until he saved some money that he bought a trumpet and he learned to play himself. Shortly after, he began to play the trumpet in the streets. However, it was only when he got in touch with local musicians who taught him songs and new techniques that he truly began to develop his own and unique style. Now, thirty years after his death, Armstrong is considered one of the most influential artists in American jazz history.
