Satchmo: His Life in New Orleans Examines Louis Armstrong’S Complex Relationship with His Hometown FOR IMMIDIATE RELEASE July 21, 2015 Marvin McGraw Jacques Berry Louisiana State Museum Office of the Lieutenant Governor 225.279.4744 225.342.8607 [email protected] [email protected] SATCHMO: HIS LIFE IN NEW ORLEANS EXAMINES LOUIS ARMSTRONG’S COMPLEX RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS HOMETOWN The exhibit Satchmo: His Life in New Orleans, opening July 29 at the Old U.S. Mint, 400 Esplanade Ave., gives a glimpse into Louis Armstrong’s life in New Orleans and his evolving relationship with the city after his departure. The exhibit is an unprecedented collaboration between the Louis Armstrong House Museum in New York City and the Louisiana State Museum. Part of the annual Satchmo Summerfest by Chevron, the exhibit will coincide with the 100th anniversary of Armstrong’s first professional gig at Henry Ponce’s, in New Orleans, in 1915. “We are honored to partner with the Louis Armstrong House Museum in presenting this exhibit on one of the state’s most notable people, Louis Armstrong,” Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne said. “Few musicians have had the impact on not just jazz, but all music, that Louis Armstrong had. His life in New Orleans had a part in how he viewed the world and interpreted it in his playing.” Satchmo: His Life in New Orleans presents Armstrong’s early influences, including his mother, Mayann, who raised Armstrong by herself; the Russian‐Jewish Karnofsky family, whose friendship with Armstrong began in his youth; his first music instructor at the Colored Waif’s Home, Peter Davis, who made Armstrong leader of the home’s brass band six months after he joined the group; and cornet legend Joe “King” Oliver, who was Armstrong’s mentor and biggest influence. "We are thrilled to partner with our friends in New Orleans at the Louisiana State Museum and Satchmo Summerfest by Chevron to present this engaging exhibition. Visitors will be moved by the story this exhibition tells and we hope that when they find their way to New York City, they visit us at Louis' house, perfectly preserved as a National Historic Landmark and a New York City landmark," Michael Cogswell, executive director of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, said. Though Armstrong, born in New Orleans in 1901, left the city for Chicago in 1922 and eventually made New York his home, he kept New Orleans close to his heart. In letters, interviews, private recordings and unpublished manuscripts, he reflected on his life in New Orleans. Most of the 70 artifacts and items in the exhibit are from the research collections of the Louis Armstrong House Museum and have never been exhibited in New Orleans. Highlights include Armstrong’s last Selmer trumpet that accompanied him for his final visit to New Orleans in 1968, which will sit beside his first cornet from the Colored Waif’s Home currently on display at the Old U.S. Mint. A prolific prose writer, Armstrong considered issues well beyond music in his narratives, including race relations in New Orleans. The exhibit includes dozens of pages from different manuscripts he wrote, including a reproduction of an entire four‐page letter on being named “King of the Zulus” in 1949—the realization of a boyhood dream that hurt his standing among African‐Americans at the time—and his lament on segregation laws prohibiting his integrated All Stars band from performing in the city. The exhibit also features recordings of Armstrong’s voice from his vast collection of private audio tapes, as well as video excerpts from television interviews. Ranging from Armstrong’s impoverished youth to his triumphant 1965 homecoming, Satchmo: His Life in New Orleans paints a portrait of one of the greatest artists America has produced, one who rose from the humblest origins to grace the world’s biggest stages and rightfully take his place among its biggest and most creative stars. Satchmo: His Life in New Orleans will be displayed until Jan. 15, 2016. The Old U.S. Mint is open Tuesdays through Saturdays.

  • Pops Prevails
    Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 93-99 (Spring 2012) Pops Prevails Edward Berger What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong’s Later Years. By Ricky Riccardi. New York: Pantheon, 2011. 369 pp. $28.95. Louis Armstrong’s later work is a far more controversial subject than one would expect, given his universal recognition as jazz’s seminal creator and, at one time, arguably the world’s most recognizable figure. But it is precisely his success in these two disparate and, to many, incompatible roles that led some critics to ignore his later artistic achievements and to bemoan what many viewed as his abandonment of his genius in pursuit of popular acceptance. Add to that the uneasiness engendered in some circles by Armstrong’s complex stage persona, and the controversy becomes more understandable. Ricky Riccardi makes abundantly clear in this new and valuable work that, although Armstrong may have devoted his entire life to entertaining his audience, it did not preclude serious artistic achievement at all stages of his career. Most writers, Riccardi included, use the transition from Armstrong’s leadership of his big band to the formation of the All Stars in 1947 as the demarcation between early and late Armstrong. Since Armstrong recorded from 1923 to 1971, his “late” period spanned some 24 years—exactly half of his entire recording career. Moreover, some critics felt that Armstrong’s contributions as a creative improviser ended even earlier, essentially dismissing much of his output after the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens. It is interesting to note how our concept of age has changed over the decades.

Obviously, these items would be a good gift idea for any occasion year-round, as well as a gift for yourself! We do not include many, if any at all, single CDs in the guide. Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.

  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.
