The Louis Armstrong Estate has shared a music video for Louis Armstrong’s classic holiday tune “White Christmas,” which features never-before-seen images of Satchmo and his wife Lucille provided by the Louis Armstrong House Museum.
The track is featured on Louis Wishes You A Cool Yule, which was released last year and presents Armstrong’s holiday recordings as a cohesive body of work, marking his first-ever official Christmas album.
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.
Directed and produced by Emmy-nominated Sacha Jenkins, produced by Imagine Documentaries, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes and Julie Anderson along with executive producers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard. The film is produced in association with Universal Music Group’s Polygram Entertainment with Michele Anthony and David Blackman serving as executive producers.
