Sam Irwin: Born on the 4th of July - What Independence Day Meant to Louis Armstrong
What did the ideals of the United States Declaration of Independence mean to the grandson of a slave? The 20th-century erosion of African American civil rights essentially disregarded the idea of Black patriotism. Louis Armstrong was deeper than most folks give him credit and a supposition can be made that Pops deliberately chose Independence Day as his birthday. Sam Irwin will cover the historical details he wrote about in the chapter "Born on the Fourth of July" in his new book "The Hidden History of Louisiana's Jazz Age." (History Press, January 2023.)
4:00PM - 5:00PM
Ricky Riccardi- 100th Anniversary Celebration of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band
On April 5, 1923, Louis Armstrong stepped into a recording studio for the first time to make his initial recordings as a sideman with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band. Over the next nine months, Oliver's band would go on to record over 30 classic sides that have become known as perhaps the most significant recorded examples of early New Orleans jazz. For the special centennial anniversary, Ricky Riccardi will offer a multimedia celebration of these recordings with rare audio clips, interviews, and videos.

It concludes with an overview of how their legacy continues to the present day. The presentation is based on the Drumsville! Evolution of the New Orleans Beat exhibit at the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint (co-curated by Cataliotti) and the accompanying LSU Press book (written by Cataliotti).

Ricky Riccardi - A Year in the Life of Louis Armstrong: 1933
Louis Armstrong kicked off the year of 1933 resting at home in Chicago, nursing bruised chops after injuring them while performing. He recovered to form a new band with youngsters such as Teddy Wilson and Budd Johnson and embarked on a stunning series of recordings for RCA Victor. On his way to Europe that summer, Armstrong gets in a fight with his manager Johnny Collins and spends the rest of the year overseas, where he was captured on film and recordings in Scandinavia. 90 years later, Ricky Riccardi will explore the high and low points of this action-packed year, climaxing with a screening of a new restoration of the famous film footage of Armstrong in Denmark.
