Black and white photograph of Louis Armstrong in 1965, from the BBC picture archive.

Satchmo visited London in 1965.

Geoffrey Smith's Jazz on Saturday was all about the inestimable influence of Louis Armstrong. Listen again in HD Sound online. The picture, from the BBC's photo archive, shows the great man during a visit to the UK in June 1965 for a BBC2 programme called 'Show of the Week'.
