From the New Orleans Jazz History Central Vieux Carre Walking Tour brochure: 240 Bourbon Street: “The Old Absinthe House has had an off-and-on jazz policy since the 1920’s. Pianists included Steve Lewis, Frank Froeba, Burnell Santiago, and Walter ‘Fats’ Pichon. Louis Armstrong was the attraction here during his return trip to New Orleans in 1955.”
