“Pops, Satchmo, Louis” – The Immersive Experience

Experience the life, the musical history and legacy, the very essence of THE greatest
icon of American Jazz, “Pops,” “Satchmo,” “Louis” Armstrong in a truly multi-
dimensional immersive experience. Hear the greatest music of the Jazz Age played live on stage, by some of the finest jazz musicians anywhere, The Classic Jazz and Swing Orchestra. See images of Armstrong never before available to the public and hear the incredible story of how a young man born in Cotuit, Mass became the personal photographer and close personal friend of the great Louis Armstrong, all wrapped within the sounds that have become the foundations of American music.

The Cape’s own Jack Bradley, lauded by none other than the Louis Armstrong House
Museum as “The Greatest Photo Taker” – a man Armstrong himself often called “my
son”, amassed thousands of candid images of the man that many credit with being the
“father of jazz” as we know it today. Cape musician and educator, Michael Persico, a
long-time family friend of the Bradley’s, created a team of top musicians, writers, multi-media editors, and friends to preserve and catalogue Jack’s historic archives, and to create an entertainment experience unlike any other, today.

Bradley had unequaled access to all of the top performers of the day. Among his
photos are “Pops” with many of the greats including Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Dizzy, and so many others. The vast majority of these photos are candid, “in the moment” images that show life as it was taking place.

Once the stage show begins, it’s a non-stop blend of photo exhibition, video projection, storytelling, and New Orleans street parade, all wrapped into an event to be
remembered for a very long time. This is something not to be missed!
