Creativity Armstrong - a sort of standard, an ideal "model" of mainstream jazz - a living and constantly evolving, but not the "museum" of traditionalism.

Sweet Band, . Implementing spirituals and gospels, . church choirs, . blues singers, . as well as participation in the philharmonic jazz concerts, . musicals, . Shows, . musical films (over 50), . execution jazz version of Gershwin's opera "Porgy and Bess" (with Ella Fitzgerald),
.

Armstrong has created a certain kind of "pop-jazz", flexibly adapts to any dance style and context to any audience, unable to satisfy the tastes of different audiences (including fans of pop music and schlager). Armstrong - perhaps the most unique personality in the history of jazz. In his work he joined unjoinable: unique individual style of expression with unlimited public access to music, . rugged simplicity and spontaneity, . traditionalism with innovation, . Negro hot-ideal with Europeanized idioms of swing and modern jazz.,
