Everyone knows Louis Armstrong. Global celebrity. Louie. Satchmo. New Orleans' Favorite Son. Music icon. Revolutionized jazz. Reinvented the trumpet. Graced TIME magazine. King Zulu. Signed everything, “Red beans and ricely yours”. But baseball fanatic? Yep. Couldn’t get enough. Loved the game so much that he started his own team - The Secret 9 - and dressed them “In the finest uniforms ever seen on sandlots and diamonds in the Big Easy.”
So, this Summer of ’21, we celebrate the great man and good team with signature sartorial flair on this Louis Armstrong's 120th birthday (August 4). Included in the box are a vintage capture of the original Secret 9 players, their story, and the recipe for Armstrong's favorite cocktail, recreated by the gifted bartenders at our Loa bar.
