A Month With Louis Armstrong & Ricky Riccardi – Louis Armstrong In The Recording Studio

• Performing Arts

Louis Armstrong’s recording career lasted from 1923 to 1971 and resulted in thousands of timeless recordings. In researching his book, “What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong’s Later Years,” Armstrong scholar Ricky Riccardi was fortunate to obtain rare session tapes capturing the trumpeter at work in the 1950s. Riccardi will be playing many of these unissued performances from Louis’s Columbia, Verve and Mercury sessions, providing an intimate glimpse at a genius at work.
