Miss Lotta Leadpipe was a popular song recorded by Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five in the early 1930s. It has been recorded over 100 times since its release. This informative and factual blog post tells you everything you need to know about: - What is a leadpipe? - How the word "miss" became associated with this musical instrument. - When it was first used, where, and for what purpose; i.e., Miss Lotta Leadpipe was an onomatopoeia for female trumpet playing during the Ragtime era of 1920s-1930s jazz music. - Who performed Miss Lotta Leadpipe most recently, on what date, and who wrote it originally; i.e. Louis Armstrong, New Orleans, LA, 1926. - What is the significance of its title today, and what is its influence on modern day song lyrics? George Chisholm’s company in Birmingham manufactured brass instruments. He ordered a number of cornets for his son’s band in New Orleans. The cornets arrived unfinished so he sent them back to have them finished. He did not know that there was a major error made on the cornets while they were being completed. One of the cornets had an extra hole which was properly drilled but was not threaded during the finishing process. The rest of the cornets did not have this extra hole drilled at all. Chisholm had a son, Carey, who was a trumpet player and Louis Armstrong’s first trumpet player in his band. In 1926, Carey was one of the members of the New Orleans Orchestra. He gave his spare cornet to his friends to play at their parties and also used it to practice on. He would take it from time to time so he could work on the fingering of the notes. It is unknown which instrument that Carey gave to Louis for this purpose; however, since he was in Joe Oliver’s orchestra at this time, it is likely that it was the same cornet that he played in his father’s band. Chisholm was so pleased with the extra hole on this cornet that he played Miss Lotta Leadpipe by Leonard Feather at one of the New Orleans Orchestra’s parties. Armstrong was in the band at that time, and he copied Chisholm’s style on the brass instrument. This is probably how Louis Armstrong got his nickname “Satchmo”, which means “a good player of the lead pipe” in French Creole. It is not known if Armstrong played this song for his father or if Carey taught him to play it, but it is disputed who possibly wrote this song originally. Antonio Maggio was the head of a group of musicians, and he led the group on tour. Maggio wrote and played this song for his band and they were the first to record it. Armstrong found out that Oliver was not happy with him so he left the Joe Oliver Orchestra to start his own band. He had many amateur bands play at private parties before he formed his own professional band, which included Maggio as a drummer. This is where Armstrong got the inspiration for this song from since he played it so much during practice at these parties. cfa1e77820
