Troy Anderson and the Wonderful World Band – A Tribute to Louis Armstrong

Celebrate the 125th birthday of Louis Armstrong at Glazer Hall on Wednesday, August (the day after his actual birthday!) with Troy “Satchmo” Anderson and the Wonderful World Band!

Troy Anderson first fell in love with the music of Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong while playing with the 2nd Armored Division Jazz Band in Germany where he was stationed as a paratrooper. Following one such performance for some high-ranking officials, the Command Sergeant Major of the U.S Army asked Anderson to put together a show of nothing but Armstrong’s greatest hits. Anderson was known throughout Germany for playing like Satchmo, and he soon managed to sing like him as well, replicating Armstrong’s trademark growl with stirring accuracy.
