Benny Goodman Louis Armstrong 1953 All Star Jazz Concert Tour Photograph by Al Stewart Image with all the players from both iconic bands who performed in the shortened concert tour penciled in and identified in this exquisite and historic photograph. Stunning photograph of the historic concert tour that was famous or infamous depending on your point of view and where you stood on the bandstand. This haunting shot lists the players that comprised these two all-star bands who try as they may tried to stay and play together –but a long tour was not in the cards. Legend has it that in 1953, Benny's band planned to join Louis Armstrong and his All Stars in a tour together, but the two band leaders argued and the tour never opened at Carnegie Hall, as had been planned. It is not certain whether the tour was canceled due to Benny's illness or the conflict between the band leaders. Some have called it an idea whose time didn’t come. According to Don Clarke, “In 1953 Goodman re-formed his classic band for an expensive tour with Louis Armstrong’s All Stars that turned into a famous disaster. as Goodman managed to insult Armstrong at the beginning; then he was appalled at the vaudeville aspects of Louis’s act […] a contradiction of everything Goodman stood for. Whatever the case - the scene was filled with legendary musicians hitting all their collective and soulful notes. Signed on mat and under photo. Overall Size: 20 x 16 in. Sight Size: 13 x 9 in. #1 #4451 Location AF GALLERY
