- **Event Name**: The Jazz Legacy Project: Duke Ellington, The Sound of America
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Put simply, all American music after 1930 came from Louis Armstrong. From his trumpet masterpieces during his early days in New Orleans and Chicago, to his mass appeal vocal hits such as Hello Dolly and What a Wonderful World, he fathered the sound of American Popular Music. This show features trumpeter, singer, and Armstrong scholar Michael Cruse.

The Jazz Legacy Project: Louis Armstrong is the second program in the four-part jazz series at Festival Hall for 2026. Each program is roughly 90 minutes, with the goal of bringing the casual jazz listener inside the minds and music of the most influential and interesting American musicians of all time. The life and music of the artist/composer is entertainingly narrated by the drummer, Mr. Justin Varnes, and seminal jazz pieces are played to illuminate the narration. These are NOT tribute concerts in the sense that the musicians are trying to recreate the original performances, but instead to celebrate the essence and accomplishments of the artist. 

The Jazz Legacy Project: Louis Armstrong, Pops: The Father of Jazz is one of the broader community events associated with  Voices and Votes: Democracy in America, a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit awarded to Georgia Writers Museum in collaboration with Georgia Humanities. This exhibit is part of the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street program, which provides access to the Smithsonian Institution for small-town America.
