Fodor's Review:

For the last 28 years of his life the famed jazz musician lived in this modest three-story house in Corona with his wife, Lucille. Take a guided 40-minute tour and note the difference between the rooms vividly decorated by Lucille in charming mid-century style, and Louis's dark den, cluttered with phonographs and reel-to-reel tape recorders. Although photographs and family mementos throughout the house impart knowledge about Satchmo's life, it's in his den that you'll really understand his spirit.
