Louis Armstrong was an international musical icon whose influence has touched countless musicians, including Warwick Alder and Gregg Arthur, who have admired him since childhood.

Armstrong’s groundbreaking trumpet style and signature scat singing captured the hearts of audiences from his early days in New Orleans in the 1920s to his posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972—and his legacy continues to inspire today.

Some of Armstrong’s best-known songs include “What a Wonderful World,” “La Vie en Rose,” “Hello, Dolly!,” “On the Sunny Side of the Street,” “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans,” “Stardust,” “Up a Lazy River,” “Mack the Knife,” and “Struttin’ With Some Barbecue.”

This tribute performance will feature Hugh Barrett on piano, Craig Scott on double bass, Charlie Meadows on guitar, and Cameron Reed on drums.

“A quintessential jazz club experience.”

— Eric Myers, The Australian.

“Some people got it, and some people don’t. Gregg Arthur is one of the ones who does; it’s the devilish art of being a jazz singer.”

— John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald.
