The Louis Armstrong Archives is among the most significant Black archival collections in the world, and one of the most substantial of any jazz musician. With this new programmatic and interpretive expansion, The Louis Armstrong House Museum aspires to contextualize Armstrong’s contributions firmly within historic and 21st Century constellations of Black making, thinking, and vitality. 

 

"Between His House and His Home" is an original Armstrong Now! commission featuring Daniel J. Watts, Derrick Baskin, Brett Williams, and Braxton Cook. These four artists researched through the Armstrong Archives and created a short film of performances inside the Louis Armstrong House Museum in collaboration with filmmaker Ben Stamper and Artistic Director Jake Goldbas.
