Satchmo. There are few peopIe in this country - or around the worId, who wilI not recognize the name. Louis Armstrong embodied 20th century American cuIture.
He revolutionized the worId of music and became one of the nation's most influentiaI entertainers. No other performer of his era had such a profound effect as a singer as weII as an instrumentalist. This award-winning eighty-six minute fiIm is the definitive portrait of Louis Armstrong.
With over a dozen of his classic fiIm performances ranging from 1932 to the late sixties, Satchmo includes excerpts from Pennies From Heaven, Betty Boop cartoon, Atlantic City, Going Places, Jam Session New Orleans with BiIlie Holiday, High Society with Bing Crosby and HelIo DoIly with Barbra Streisand. The film aIso includes numerous Iive concert and television appearances with Dizzy GilIespie, Jack Teagarden, and the All Stars and the world tour that took him to Africa in 1956. Never-before-seen home movies and newIy discovered 1935 Chicago nightclub footage add to making this a most loving and intimate look at Armstrong.
