Museum’s First Gala Rocks the House

Celebrating a quarter century of operations, the Louis Armstrong House Museum threw its rst annual gala on December 6, 2011, honoring QC President James Muyskens, legendary jazz record producer George Avakian, and trumpet virtuoso Jon Faddis. Muyskens, Avakian, LAHM Director Michael Cogswell, Faddis, and LAHM Board President David Ostwald took a group bow, above; Faddis, who chose his instrument in childhood after seeing Satchmo on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” also provided music for the party. “Every cent we raise from this event will go to fund operations,” promised Cogswell. The next big fund-raising event for LAHM takes place in February with the auctioning of a painting of Louis (left), painted and donated by legendary singer Tony Bennett.
