If you're in or near Greenwich, Connecticut, the Greenwich Library is presenting "Remembering Louis Armstrong," a symposium occasioned by the New Haven premiere of
Satchmo at the Waldorf
. I'll be taking part in the discussion, along with George Avakian, who produced
Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy
; Dan Morgenstern, who knew Armstrong well and wrote about him perceptively in
Living With Jazz
; and Ricky Riccardi, the Armstrong
blogger
and author of
What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong's Later Years
. Between the four of us, I expect we'll have
something interesting to say.
The proceedings start at seven p.m. tonight at the main library, located at 101 West Putnam Avenue. For more information, go
