As part of a multi-city west coast tour, Wynton Marsalis leads a 13-member all-star ensemble featuring pianist Cecile Licad in a live performance accompanying the silent film LOUIS. In a modern reimagining of early silent film, the grand Storyville bordellos, alleys and cemeteries of 1907 New Orleans provide the backdrop to the fictionalized story of 6-year-old Louis as he dreams of playing the trumpet and navigates the colorful intricacies of life in the city. Featuring classic tunes by Armstrong, Morton, Ellington and more alongside original Marsalis compositions and the music of Creole composer L.M. Gottschalk, LOUIS is an homage to Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin and the birth of American music.
(LOUIS: Dan Pritzker, 2010, R, 90 min.)
