Show Description:
The Jazz Arts Group of Columbus will present the music of Louis Armstrong’s famous Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings through a series of concerts and educational activities in February to coincide with Black History Month and the rebirth of the Lincoln Theatre. The music of the Hot Five and the Hot Seven is considered by most critics to be among the finest recordings in jazz history. The Hot Fives began in 1925 and the instrumentation included trumpet, clarinet, trombone, piano and guitar/banjo with the addition of drums and tuba in 1927 to make the Hot Sevens. “Louis Armstrong provided jazz with its quantum leap forward – his Hot Five and Hot Seven group recordings were the culmination of all he had accomplished in music to that point,” cites All About Jazz.
