Louie Armstrong playing the trumpet – Gottlieb, William P. -- 1917- (photographer)


My photo of Louis shows him just before the concert. The horn you see belongs to Bobby Hackett. Louis' had just been stolen. Satchmo' had to borrow a mute, too. All he had of his own for the concert was his mouthpiece, which he had in his pocket when the thief grabbed his case. Horn has since been recovered at a pawn shop. Mr. Gottlieb has dedicated these works to the public domain, but rights of privacy and publicity may apply.
