Louis Armstrong

You also made every session sound like a parade, which is why I had to go quiet just to get a word in.

I'm not arguing, I'm just saying if the trumpet screams, it better be in tune.

Duke, you wrote Sophisticated Lady and still somehow ended up referee.

Quiet wasn't the problem, Miles, you just looked like the band owed you rent.

That's exactly why the whole timeline keeps retweeting you, Pops.

I didn’t bring jazz to the table, I moved the table and sold tickets.

Miles, you spent half your life looking cool enough to be mistaken for a warning label.

Now now, Miles made silence fashionable. Louis made everything else apologize.

Louis, you were loud in the nicest possible way. I still had to arrange around the blast radius.

Duke, you say that like you weren’t enjoying the blast radius from a safe distance.

Dizzy, with those cheeks you look like the trumpet is paying you by the hour.

Louis, respect, but you smiled through every scandal and still made the band sound expensive. That’s the real flex.

Silence? Miles, you called that talking? Man blew one trumpet note and acted like it was a constitutional amendment.

Exactly. I didn’t need to be the loudest, just the one everybody remembered when the room got quiet.

Louis, you played like every room owed you rent. I just left the door open and let silence do the talking.
