Centennial Celebration of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five at Friends Field, Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts

Dates: 7/3/2026


Presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center and under the auspices of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, this concert honors the recordings Armstrong created in the 1920s with the Hot Five that transformed jazz from a collective style into a soloist's art form. Co-hosts GRAMMY-winning trumpeter Alphonso Horne and pianist Ricky Riccardi are joined by clarinetist Evan Arntzen, trombonist Ron Wilkins, and drummer Charles Goold. The evening is held on the eve of what Louis Armstrong always claimed to be his birthday.
