Join us for a special evening honoring the legendary collaboration between Louis Armstrong and Dave Brubeck. The Real Jazz Ambassadors brings to life the music and message of their groundbreaking 1962 album, which documented the struggles and triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement.

Presented in partnership with Jazz at Lincoln Center, this powerful performance features newly imagined arrangements by pianist Chris Pattishall and an all-star ensemble, including Chris Brubeck, Alphonso Horne, Shenel Johns, Vuyo Sotashe, C. Anthony Bryant, Nicole Zuraitis, Camille Thurman, Endea Owens, Jake Goldbas, and acclaimed actor Daniel J. Watts.

With a stunning blend of jazz and theatrical storytelling, this event shines a light on Armstrong and Brubeck’s roles as cultural ambassadors of their time. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Appel Room’s panoramic view of the New York City skyline, this promises to be an unforgettable tribute to two jazz icons who used their music to inspire and unite.
