Join host Ricky Riccardi for our annual PopsFest! Louis Armstrong was invited to visit Central and Eastern Europe for four weeks in the spring of 1965, and he barnstormed through Prague, Leipzig, East Berlin, West Berlin, Frankfurt, Bucharest, Belgrade, Zagreb, Liubljana, back to East Berlin, then on to Magdeburg, Erfurt, Schwerin, and East Berlin again--an itinerary that would have felled anyone without Armstrong's enormous reserves. In June 1965, only two months after his return home, Armstrong was off to Eastern Europe again, and in Budapest 91,000 persons jammed the NEP Stadium to hear him play.
The National Jazz Museum in Harlem (NJMH) today announced the acquisition of a historic collection of never-before-heard recordings, including live performances of great American Jazz icons from 1935-1941. The collection of 975 aluminum and vinyl discs, over 100 hours of material, was created by William Savory, a recording engineer and Harvard-educated physicist. Savory worked as at a radio transcription service in New York between 1935 and 1941 and used the equipment his job afforded him to record hundreds of hours of material directly off the radio.
