The Comedy-O-Rama Hour: Birthday Tribute to Louis Armstrong on Joe Bev's WRN Programming for the Week of August 2, 2013

"Satchmo Meets Pops" on Jazz-O-Rama, "Louis Armstrong Does Disney" on Cartoon Carnival, "Camp Waterlogg: The Animals are Revolting" on The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, "Louis Armstrong's New Orleans" on Joe Bev Experience. Free at waterlogg.com.

Three out of four of Joe Bev's Waterlogg Radio Network (WRN) podcasts this week pay tribute to Louis Armstrong, who was born August 4, 1901.

Nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, Armstrong had a long and successful career as a American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly-recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).

The Joe Bev Experience
"Louis Armstrong's New Orleans" with Wynton Marsalis: A Joe Bev Musical Sound Portrait
Produced and Narrated by Joe Bevilacqua, with Wynton Marsalis, Donald Newlove, Leonard Lopate, Edward R. Murrow,and Louis Armstrong

Veteran radio producer Joe Bevilacqua hosts this entertaining,informative hour, recorded in the French Quarter of New Orleans and featuring jazz great Wynton Marsalis, jazz author and historian Donald Newlove, WNYC Radio talk show host Leonard Lopate, members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and others, on the origins of jazz, and the life and music of legendary trumpeter Louis Armstrong.

Also featured is the music of Armstrong throughout his long career, and rare recordings, including audio from a 1957 CBS TV documentary with Edward R. Murrow.

"Informational, polished, sound-rich, Joe Bevilacqua strikes again with this superb documentary on the life and music of Louis Armstrong. The rich tapestry of music, interviews, and sound from the streets of New Orleans is expertly produced. In addition to some rare recordings, the program includes interviews with Wynton Marsalis and others that really add to what is primarily a music program, rather than detract from the focus of the program. The sound quality is excellent, and the vintage recordings have been cleaned up well. The program is both entertaining and informative, and held my interest for the entire hour. I highly recommend it." (Phil Corriveau, Wisconsin Public Radio)
