Highlife - Armstrong Tour / CBS 1956

I'm trying to get my hands on this program from CBS Entertainment...maybe it will be what we need?...Shari

 In May, 1956 Louis Armstrong's All Stars were in Great Britain playing the last gigs of a long and tiring overseas tour. The trip was sponsored by CBS and Edward R. Murrow, and would produce material for the United Artists video Satchmo The Great and the record albums Ambassador Satchand Satchmo The Great. In 1955 Murrow had visited Africa and shot two hours of film for his CBS-TV show See It Now which included some coverage of the Gold Coast. He now desired to do a short sequel and requested that Louis and his entourage stop off in Ghana for two days before returning to the United States. Murrow's idea was to shoot film of Louis walking on the beach and playing a solo in E.T. Mensah's Paramount open air bar, where he had enjoyed himself while filming in 1955.
