This program for Louis Armstrong and His Concert Group is from the 1950s, most likely 1953. It is signed by Louis Armstrong and six other band members. It includes many photos, newspaper clippings, a biography of Armstrong and a possible set list with the caveat that no formal program is possible due to the ad lib quality of this music. In addition to Armstrong’s autograph this rare blue program is signed by Cozy Cole, Velma Middleton, Barney Bigard, Billy Kyle, Trummy Young and Milton Hinton.
Please note that there is a crease down the center of the pages from the program being folded in half. There are reddish stains on the cover of the program, most likely from makeup. There is some foxing around the edges of some pages. The original staples still hold the program together. The program measures approximately 12 by 9 inches.
