JAZZ veteran Terry Lightfoot has good reason to remember legendary trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong.

Not only did he "jam" with the great Satchmo during his first year as a professional in 1956, he also toured Britain with him in 1965.

Lightfoot and his band, the Jazzmen, get a chance to salute Armstrong in a special concert at the Nuffield Theatre on Sunday September 15. Lightfoot became a professional bandleader in 1956, inspired by hearing Armstrong's albums as a teenager.

A clarinettist, saxophonist and singer of the highest calibre, Lightfoot was a key player in the traditional jazz revival in Britain in the 1950s, which developed into the 'Trad' boom of the early 1960s. Tours, radio broadcasts and albums made him a household name alongside other top jazzmen like Acker Bilk, with whom he appeared in the movie It's Trad Dad! During the course of his career, he has worked with dozens of jazz greats, including Yank Lawson, Vic Dickenson, Billy Butterfield and George Lewis. His is also the only British band to have toured with the renowned Edward 'Kid' Ory Band, which included the wonderful trumpeter Henry 'Red' Allen.

During his long career he has released more than 40 albums, including a salute to Satchmo in 1995, The Special Magic of Louis Armstrong. Lining up with Lightfoot at the Nuffield are Paul Lacey on trumpet, Ian Bateman on trombone, Johnny Richardson on drums, Tony Pitt on guitar and banjo, Craig Milverton on piano and Andy Lawrence on string bass.

Expect to hear all the Louis Armstrong hits including Dippermouth Blues, What A Wonderful World, Hello Dolly and Lazy River. Tickets cost £14. Call the box office on 023 8067 1771.
