Realizing that Armstrong's final performance at the Waldorf in 1971 was an operatic moment—a meet-your-maker crescendo in the life of a great artist—Terry wrote a theatrical work where the trumpeter reflects on his life, and his white manager, Joe Glaser, adds his thoughts. The radical device was having the same black actor play both parts. The result is Satchmo at the Waldorf, ...

Among rose aficionados around the world he became famous for his hybrids. McGredy's “Satchmo" rose came first, in 1970. According to Stirling Macoboy's ...
