Louis Armstrong 1965 Concert to Screen on Int’l Jazz DayShow took place in Berlin during Cold WarBy JazzTimes On April 30, in honor of International Jazz Day, the Louis Armstrong House Museum in partnership with the Museum of Moving Image will host the exclusive screening of Louis Armstrong’s complete concert in East Berlin performed on March 22, 1965. The film will be preceded from 6:30–7:30 p.m. by a reception with rice and beans, followed by the screening at 7:30 p.m. The event will take place at the Museum of Moving Image, 36-01 35 Avenue, Astoria, NY. According to a press release, “This concert was held at the Berlin
Friedrichstadtpalast in the middle of Armstrong's first historic tour
behind the Iron Curtain. Of equal importance, the East Berlin concert
represents the only surviving footage of a complete, two-set show by
Armstrong's All Stars. Provided by the research collections of the Louis
Armstrong House Museum, this concert has never been shown on American
television or made available on home video, making this a rare chance to
experience the thrill of a live Louis Armstrong concert performance.”
Advance tickets are suggested and are available online at Moving Image. Edited by snobb - 10 Mar 2015 at 8:49am |
