Louis Armstrong is shown playing his trumpet as Joey Adams, president of the American Guild of Variety Artists Youth Fund, presents him with an award at Carnegie Hall. The 1966 scene captures the trumpeter mid-performance, a reminder that the jazz musician who had been recording and touring since the 1920s was still performing at the height of his public fame in the 1960s. Adams was a comedian and author well known on the New York entertainment scene. The picture comes from the New York World-Telegram and the Sun newspaper collection, a body of press photographs that documents the city's cultural and public life during the period.
