> According to the Time Magazine website:
Louis Armstrong was on Time Mag cover on Feb 21, 1949 and David
Brubeck was on Nov. 08, 1954<

Dear Dave and Steve,
The story of the Louis 'Time' magazine cover is in the 1997 Laurence
Bergreen book 'Louis Armstrong. An Extravagant Life'.
Louis is wearing a crown of trumpets and the 'Time' cover coincided with his
appearance at the 1949 New Orleans Mardi Gras scheduled for the following
week.
Google >Louis Armstrong, Time cover, 1949< to see a copy of it.
Kind regards,
Bill.
