Honoring the birth date of New Orleans’ prodigal son trumpeter Louis Armstrong, The New Orleans Jazz Museum hosted yet another edition of the yearly Satchmo Summerfest on Saturday and Sunday August 5 and 6, 2023.
With two stages outdoors, a piano on the second floor and talks held on the third, the music flowed over the weekend as crowds braved the high temperatures to enjoy the celebration of New Orleans’ most revered artist. Traditional jazz in the vein of Armstrong’s career was at the center of attention with Preservation Brass, Leroy Jones, Kid Merv, Tuba Skinny, Shotgun Jazz Band and others breathed life into this music. But the festival also hosted a variety of artists spanning different genres with the TBC Brass Band, Charmaine Neville, the 79rs Gang and many more.
