On a residential block of 107th Street in Corona, Queens, stands the house where Louis Armstrong lived for nearly three decades.

Several other jazz musicians settled in the neighborhood, including Cannonball and Nat Adderley, Jimmy Heath, and Clark Terry. The concentration of musical talent was extraordinary, but it was only one part of Corona’s story.
