Satchmo SummerFest 2009

Join WWOZ for a live broadcast on Saturday, August 1, from Satchmo SummerFest 2009 down by the old U.S. Mint at Esplanade in the French Quarter!

2 - 2:45 p.m. We'll bring you the sounds of the Young New Orleans Traditional Brass Band, established by the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park with the help of the Tremé Brass Band and the Storyville Stompers.

3 - 4:15 p.m. N.O. Jazz & Heritage Foundation Program Director Sharon Martin lends us her gospel-tinged voice for a set.

4:30 - 5:45 p.m. Trombonist and vocalist Glen David Andrews & The Lazy Six perform some traditional jazz and classic New Orleans tunes.

So if you can't make it on down to the Mint, tune in online for a sampling of the sweet summer sounds in tribute to Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong!
