Handy Jazz for Curious Listeners Host: Ricky Riccardi 7:00-8:30pm $10.00 Suggested Admission Location: The National Jazz Museum in Harlem 104 E. 126th Street, Suite 2C In the 1920's, Louis Armstrong recorded the music that set the style for jazz for the 20th century. That didn't stop him from creating masterpieces for the rest of his career, which lasted for another four decades. One of the highlights among highlights is this 1954 album that Satchmo made with his AllStars, looking back at the man who first introduced the blues to the world at large - W.C. Handy. If there were only to be one recording placed into a time capsule as to what the blues meant to the world, this could by well be it. Host Ricky Riccardi is an authority on Louis Armstrong. Currently Archivist at The Louis Armstrong Archives at Queens College, he is also the author of What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong's Later Years, and his voluminous blog at www.dippermouth.blogspot.com. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
