Louis Armstrong influence on Django

Hi,
i transcribed Louis Armstrongs solo on Dinah live in Copenhagen 1933 on guitar and of course i knew about the huge influence he had on Django but wow, this really opened my eyes regarding that influence horns might had on another level.
So many "Djangoisms" do make so much sense regarding how he possibly came up with them to me now. F.e. the fast chromatic runs, the heavy vibrato, the tremolo picked single note lines. Yes, maybe not the only single factor but i'm convinced it was a huge one.
Maybe now i see what was completly obvious to you guys but maybe it's interesting for some though haha

I've been convinced of this for quite a while. Especially Django's earliest recording.
Wow that's awesome, thx for sharing!! It's kinda crazy, so much so I had to watch 3x lol. Great tone too man!!
