Event Description
"Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues" (2022, 106 min) reflects on the life and art of the legendary performer by delving into records - not just all the ones he recorded on vinyl.
Director Sacha Jenkins was given access to the Armstrong estate's collected materials, which include decades' worth of news clippings, reviews, and photographs; never-before-heard recordings of conversations that Armstrong made whenever friends and colleagues visited his modest home in Queens, New York; and most strikingly, scrapbooks of collages Armstrong made from his own materials.
