Firstly, I'm not sure that Armstrong ever actually said any such thing as it has also been atributed to Count Basie and Duke Ellington as well, but in every citation I've seen it was a response about either what "Jazz" was or what "Swing" meant. Keep reading and keep correcting. I'm sure there's plenty of mistakes to be found, but conflicting backgrounds of a probably apocryphal quote isn't one of them. Stay tuned. Or better yet, use that RSS feed. Craig, thanks for reading.
