positive · AI labelView post →I watched Sacha's 'Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues' over the last three nights and was overwhelmed. A beautiful, comprehensive reframing of a saintly, extraordinary man. My god, that Ossie Davis clip alone... #love
positive · AI labelView post →There are tons of great music documentaries, with or without traditional filmmaking approaches. The form which is useless to me is the biopic! Some recent good music docs: Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues Dear Mama Summer of Soul Moonage Daydream Soundtrack For A Coup D'Etat The Velvet Underground
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't get to New York to see @jmiglehart.bsky.social in "A Wonderful World," so I'm watching "Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues" on Apple TV+ instead.
neutral · AI labelView post →176. Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues (Apple, 2022) An interesting doc, lots of great footage + recordings + some interesting techniques. Paints him as a more complex figure than usual + goes some way to challenging the Uncle Tom arguments. And hearing Louis say 'motherfucker' is surprisingly lovely
