Additional Details

The photographs show Armstrong playing at what appears to be an informal event, and then seated with friends (his Argentine hosts?) eating. The manuscript article is about this visit but does not appear in the issue of Jazz Magazine. It is initialed "j.r.a r.g.b." The inscription in the magazine by Armstrong is to "Rolf," possibly the person with the initials "r.g.b."
