Join Queens Theatre for a spectacular evening celebrating the timeless music and legacy of Louis Armstrong as they commemorate the 60th anniversary of his iconic concert at the World's Fair. Alphonso Horne and the Gotham Kings will take the stage, showcasing their exceptional talent and deep passion for Louis Armstrong's music.

Gotham Kings is a high energy immersive jazz experience! Two-time Grammy nominated trumpeter Alphonso Horne has put together an all star band that weaves the sound of New Orleans, Funk, Jazz and Hip Hop to bring a celebratory spirit that uplifts every room they play. Inspired by the music of King Oliver Creole Jazz Band, Gotham Kings uses the virtuosity of the young Louis Armstrong and innovative genius of King Oliver to take you on a journey of sound that encompasses the history of the trumpet and the story of jazz through rags, stomps, shouts and funk! The band has played in venues including Newport, Aspen, and Caramoor Jazz Festival, Louis Armstrong House Museum, Jazz at Lincoln Center and many more! Individually, members of the Gotham Kings have compiled a diverse resume of collaborations with top artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Michael Feinstein, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, The Colbert Show and more!

This event is presented in partnership with Louis Armstrong House Museum.
