You Know His Voice, But Do You know the Man Himself?
'Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues' (2022) is a stunning documentary looking past the gravelly singer and trumpeter that was only ever shown with a smile. You will see the man behind the trumpet and what his thoughts were throughout his well-documented life.
Pops is the sole focus of this documentary as almost all interviews and recordings of Louis' friends and contemporaries are never shown on screen. Louis is King like he was in real life. Through interviews and personal recordings, the life of Louis is more thoroughly revealed and explored than ever before.
This documentary is fantastic as it gives the audience an in-depth look into someone they all know and sing along with but not really know too well. Satchmo is known for his great smile and gravelly voice throughout the world, but his thoughts provide so much more to the legendary figure in this film.
Watch it. You may have known that Louis is a legendary figure, but now you will know why he is such a legend.
