Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues — Official Trailer | Apple TV+
youtube
I always thought Louis Armstrong was bad ass, even did a school tour to say so. But I had no idea.
Actually, having watched it, I'd say I had underestimated his badass-edness by a factor of ten, but then with what I do know that is not in the film, but largely also via Ricci, I'd have to up that another order of magnitude. Listen to Pops, kids, the dude was Mondo Badass.
Pops wrote erotic poetry
He paid the care for an autistic child I'm not even sure was his
His paid the upkeep and education of an illegitimate daughter who is no slouch on the trumpet herself

Vanessa Williams - Legs (Keep Dancing) [Official Music Video]  First Listen: Vanessa Williams launches label with new single#VanessaWilliams, the legendary star of stage, screen, and the music scene, is dancing into the next phase of her dazzling career with a series of professional high kicks. She’s formed her own recording label, Mellian Music, set up her first publishing entities,  and signed a joint venture agreement  with Mod Squad, LLC, which is distributed by GoDigiPath, LLC, in association with  ADA Worldwide,  Warner Music Group’s independent label and artist services arm. Steven C. Beer,  who’s worked with Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, has come on board as Williams’ strategic lawyer/management consultant.“What a joy it is to be making new music behind the mike again with old friends,”  Williams adds. “There’s a certain comfort in creating new works in the studio while reminiscing about how so many years in this business have brought successes, excitement, and lasting memories. Always moving forward is what drives me. Every challenge is exciting. And more new music to share with my fans is the fuel that lights my fire.”Williams is putting the final touches on her first non-seasonal album  in 15 years. It releases later this year. The project was executive produced by Mellian Music, Mod Squad, LLC, and Christopher Todd Hall. “This is an album that surrounds Vanessa’s vocal gifts and performances with stellar acoustic and electronic performances by real musicians, real writers, real producers; a real music album,” says Mod Squad CEO, Tony Prendatt. “This album is for all genres. It  will touch on all of Vanessa’s experiences in the Pop, R&B, Latin, Jazz, and Dance genres. Vanessa is re-introducing herself by her design; we’re all committed and excited to be a part of it.”The first single, “Legs (Keep Dancing),” was co-written by Disney songwriter/producer Chantry Johnson; songwriter Kjersti Long; and songwriter/producer Kipper Jones who co-penned Williams’ early classics, “The Comfort Zone” and “The Right Stuff.”  Music isn’t the only thing on Williams’ mind. She’s currently in rehearsals to star as the fictional fashion queen Miranda Priestlyin London, England’s West End stage production of The Devil Wears Prada. There are preview performances at the Theatre Royal Plymouth July 6- August 21st. The official opening takes place on October 24th at the city’s Dominion Theatre.  The musical features an original score by  Sir Elton John and lyrics by Shania Taub. The book is by Kate Wetherhead. It’s directed and choreographed by 3-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde, Pretty Woman).In the past, Williams has served as executive producer for various projects such as the telefilm, The Courage to Love, and her own televised Christmas specials.  She’s continuing that enterprising practice as part of the producer team for  A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical, a play about the life of the iconic jazz trumpeter known as Satchmo, that will make its Broadway debut this fall at the Roundabout Theatre’s Studio 54 in New York City. The production will star James Monroe Inglehart who is best-known for his Tony Award winning role as Genie in the original Broadway production of Aladdin.“You can call it a comeback, a full circle moment, or just plain serendipity,” says songwriter Kipper Jones who’s history with Williams dates to her The Right Stuff album debut in 1988. “But I call it a blessing to be creating more history with the iconic force of nature that is Vanessa Williams. If past is indeed prologue, we’re about to give ‘em hell again!”

Remembering Louis Armstrong
He answered to “Pops,” “Satchmo,” and “Louie.” But he called himself Louis. Documentary filmmaker Sacha Jenkins and jazz pianist Jason Moran have been immersed in Louis Armstrong’s recordings and artifacts for years. They go with “Louis” as well. “Yeah, man. I have too much respect for that guy,” said Jenkins. Moran is the curator of the new Louis Armstrong Center in Queens, New York. Among the…

Louis Daniel Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed "Satchmo", "Satch", and "Pops", was a trumpeter, composer, vocalist, and actor who was among the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades and different eras in the history of jazz. He was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. He was born in New Orleans. His parents were Mary Albert and William Armstrong. He was raised by his grandmother until the age of five when he was returned to his mother. He spent his youth in poverty in a rough neighborhood known as The Battlefield, on the southern section of Rampart Street. He attended the Fisk School for Boys, a school that accepted black children in the racially segregated system. He lived with his mother and sister and worked for the Karnoffskys, a family of Lithuanian Jews, at their home. He was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. He followed his mentor, Joe "King" Oliver, to Chicago to play in the Creole Jazz Band. He spent time with other popular jazz musicians, reconnecting with his friend Bix Beiderbecke and spending time with Hoagy Carmichael and Lil Hardin. He earned a reputation for "cutting contests", and relocated to New York to join Fletcher Henderson's band. He was an influential singer and skillful improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song. He was skilled at scat singing. He is renowned for his charismatic stage presence. By the end of his career, his influence had spread to popular music in general. He was one of the first popular African-American entertainers to "cross over" to wide popularity with white audiences. He rarely publicly politicized his race, to the dismay of fellow African Americans, but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation in the Little Rock crisis. He was able to access the upper echelons of American society at a time when this was difficult for African American men. He appeared in films such as High Society and Hello, Dolly! He received many accolades including three Grammy Award nominations and a win for his vocal performance of Hello, Dolly! #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg1Yp5EODJCm5ykjHiYEu6w2vTgV-QD7Mb47GI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
