AMC Online | Virtual tribute concert to American jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck

The concert will include six selections from The Real Ambassadors jazz musical, developed by Dave and Iola Brubeck in collaboration with Louis Armstrong and his band in the late 1950s and 1960s. The musical is a retrospective of Brubeck and his fellow jazz musicians’ experiences performing around the world with the U.S. State Department. The nation’s finest jazz musicians abroad volunteered as goodwill “Jazz Ambassadors” to symbolize America’s commitment to freedom and democracy.

The virtual concert’s band is led by two-time Grammy-nominated trumpeter Alphonso Horne. The concert is jointly presented the Louis Armstrong House and Archives, the Forum for Cultural Engagement, and the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
