Program Description

Event Details

Louis Armstrong was an American trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor who was one of the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades from the 1920s to the 1960s, and during different eras of jazz. His biggest hit came late in his career when he recorded Hello, Dolly! in 1964. He became the oldest person to hold the number one record, bumping the Beatles from the top of the charts.

Come and enjoy a look at his life and career and hear his enduring music. Presenter, Marc Courtade, Retired Arts Director
