From the article...
Not sure, but I think there's a good chance that April 27th discussion may turn up here: http://press.org/news-multimedia/video.
The 58-minute recording will be released April 24 and discussed April 27 at a forum at the Press Club.

That blog also talks about another new Armstrong release, recorded at Basin Street in May 1955, right after Satch Plays Fats had been completed. It is coming out on the Mr. Music label in just a few days.

Just having my very first listen to the Chicago 2CD set - very good!
Guess that Basin Street will be mighty fine, too (besides Bigard, that is - it's mentioned on the blog that he's doing his usual aimless noodling - usual, that is, for Satchmo All Stars era playing... with Duke he was, uhm, usually, fine).
