- Description
- Episode Description
- Episodes 95 - 98 of Heritage feature Louis Armstrong, the noted jazz musician. Mr. Armstrong has had a dazzling career since his birth on the edge of a slum district in New Orleans: he has travelled across the country, and around the world as an ambassador of good will for the United States, speaking the international language of music. The final episode of the series on Armstrong presents Mr. Armstrong, Benny Benack, a musician who has concentrated on Dixieland jazz, and Professor Frederick Dorian, a classical musicologist from the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Dr. Dorian was Mr. Benack's professor at Carnegie Tech, and has joined his former pupil to learn about jazz and what a great jazz musician thinks of classical music. Dr. Dorian, who is not very well acquainted with jazz, asks Mr. Armstrong what the elements are of good jazz, and it is this definition which occupies the major part of the program.

- Series Description
- Through "Heritage," a selected group of prominent persons individually address themselves to broad areas of subject matter in fields where they are particularly qualified to speak. Rather than being a simple series of conventional pattern, this is a "series of series," where each guest appears on several episode in several formats (i.e. straight talk, interview, talk with small group, conversation). This series totaling 131 half-hour episodes was originally recorded on various formats including film and videotape. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
