From Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong, by Terry Teachout

"It mattered no more to that many (though by no means all) of his solos had hardened into set pieces. That had always been his way, and he saw no reason to change. 'Well, y'know it's a real consolation always getting that same note -- just hittin' it right,' he explained."
From Chapter 10, "Keep the Horn Percolating"
