This book offers an intimate, backstage look at the legendary trumpeter through never-before-published photos, writings, and recordings.
As the official book of the Louis Armstrong House and Archives, it eschews the famous photos seen worldwide and showcases the most intriguing and revealing items in the collection. The private, funny, and touching characteristics of Armstrong's life reveal themselves through his personal collection of photographs, tape recordings, collages, and scrapbooks.
Michael Cogswell is the director of the Louis Armstrong House & Archives at Queens Collage.
