New Orleans:
Satchmo Summerfest! |
New Orleans is once again honoring native son and jazz legend Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong with the return of Satchmo Summerfest. What began as a one-time festival in honor of the centenary of Armstrong's birth has become an annual festival with free admission to a wealth of entertainment and information.
Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong gained fame through his incredible musical talents, and through these increased New Orleans standing as a city of international cultural significance. New Orleans repays this debt with the Satchmo SummerFest, a three-day celebration of the life, legacy, and music of "Satchmo."
