📖 Satchmo in Barcelona, seventy years on

Trumpeter and vocalist Leroy Jones, a leading figure of the New Orleans sound, joins a sixteen-piece big band with full brass, sax and rhythm sections, led by Dani Alonso, to revive the repertoire and spirit of Armstrong's historic tour.

🏛️ Palau de la Música Catalana
