"Satchmo" could have had his pick as to where to be buried. He decided to be buried close to his house in Flushing Cememtery (Queens, N.Y.C.). He lived in Corona Queens, just a short walk from Flushing Meadow Park. He lived in a modest working class neighborhood. When asked once about why he lived there, his reply was simple. These are my people. I know them, they know me. They look after me. His plot is in section 9 of Flushing Cememtery and his grave is listed on "findagrave.com".

In the early stages of his career, when he was merely a bandsman playing trumpet in other people's bands, he worked primarily in America. Once he was signed by the Joe Glaser agency, Glaser was determined to promote Louis as a global jazz phenomenon and in so doing make a lot of money for himself. He created the Louis Armstrong All Stars and successfully did this but the cost to Louis was a never ending stream of concerts all around the world, virtually up to the day that he died, with little chance for occasional respites from the arduous round concert after concert after concert. This sheer grind of hard work was probably a factor in Louis' eventual demise.
