Online Jazz Zoom

It was the musical heat of The Hot Five, the first group where Louis Armstrong took the leader’s chair to record in 1925, that altered the course of jazz. Our presenter, jazz historian Ricky Riccardi was so taken by the Armstrong video he saw in 1995, when he was a teen, that it altered the course of his life, too. Ricky, best known for his deeply researched biographies of Armstrong, is the Director of Research Collections for the Armstrong House Museum in Queens, NY. His passion for all things Louis is evident.
As with all our jazz talks, you have to pre-register before 5:00 pm Eastern, the night of the program to receive the link. Our jazz talk series are always offered for free, but we appreciate any donation made at the time of registration to offset the cost of producing the program. Zoom link is emailed to you shortly before it begins.
