“Louis Armstrong's Black Blues” offers an intimate and revealing look at the world-changing musician, presented through a lens of archival footage and never-before-heard home recordings and personal conversations. This definitive documentary, directed by Sacha Jenkins, honors Armstrong's legacy as a founding father of jazz, one of the first internationally known and beloved stars, and a cultural ambassador of the United States. The film shows how Armstrong’s own life spans the shift from the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, and how he became a lightning rod figure in that turbulent era.

他真的是音乐的天才。他的嗓子，大概连上帝都要觉得震惊都会听了上瘾。醇厚浓郁丰厚有质感，像夕阳下金色的砂砾，像陈年的美酒，像松软美味的巧克力布朗尼蛋糕。别人的传记，总免不了成名后的迷失和荒唐。黑人却又多出来一样种族歧视，被邀请去各种豪华高级的场所演出，却不允许作为客人进去。这种感觉真的是很羞辱吧。
黑人音乐没法不涉及政治。不过作品的生命力归根结底还是娱乐。结尾wonderful world响起，什么都有了。
