Jazz history comes to life in Corona

Louis Armstrong was one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world when he chose the working-class neighborhood of Corona, Queens to be his home in 1943. We preserve Louis and Lucille’s home, now a historic site and world-class museum. We also provide access to Mr. Armstrong’s extensive archives, develop programs for the public that educate and inspire and host performances with multi-disciplinary artists from around the world.

 

The Gift of Timeless Tunes

To all LAHM friends and family, Greetings!

We’re kicking off our end-of-year campaign with a festive journey into the Armstrong traditions of love, gratitude, and togetherness. To launch this special campaign, we’ve chosen “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong— a beautiful animation for all of you to enjoy.

Between now and December 31, we’re asking 100 individuals (or more!) who love Louis Armstrong to make a gift of any size to support our mission and programs. We’d be so grateful if you would support us by:

  • Making a Gift: Your donation will ensure that we continue to share Louis’s music, stories, and mission with the world.
  • Becoming a Member: Support the museum all year round and enjoy member-exclusive perks.

Wishing you a joyful and musical holiday season!

A musical Immortal

The 20th century produced no shortage of legendary instrumentalists and vocalists but Louis Armstrong is the only figure who completely changed the way people played music on their instruments and he completely changed the way people sang. Perfecting the concept of the improvised solo, popularizing the use of scat singing, defining the concept of swing–those are just some of the ways Louis Armstrong changed jazz, and American popular music–during his lifetime.
