Steinway artist Robert Wyatt has been a lecture/recitalist for the Smithsonian Institution for 20 years and is one of the nation’s foremost experts on George Gershwin. His talk on Louis Armstrong, will honor the man who pioneered the solo performance. His distinctive singing voice was also used as an improvisatory tool, and we owe scat singing to his list of inventions. His charismatic personality and unique instrumental gifts won him universal and eternal appeal as “Satchmo.”
