The Jazz Ambassadors was a title given to a number of leading jazz artists from America who acted as Good Will Ambassadors starting in 1956. They included Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and Dave Brubeck. These Ambassadors were sponsored by the U.S. State Department and toured Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central and Southern Asia, and Africa.
