About
More than just another ‘unreleased recording’, Louis In London captures the last great performance by the most influential American musician of all time. On his personal copy of the tapes, Louis affixed a note to the tape box. On it he wrote, ‘FOR THE FANS’. Therein is our mandate, our privilege, and collective charge: To share Louis’ message and these recordings with the World. Louis’ music has the widest global appeal and the music release is supported by live video footage of every track, capturing some of the most inspired singing and trumpet playing of Louis’ career.
