BREAKDOWN

[LOUIS ARMSTRONG]
Male late 40s-70s, African-American. Actor portrays musician in his 70’s speaking candidly to the audience about his life and legacy. He is aged and tired, but retains his charm and sweetness; also portrays manager JOE GLASER – Jewish, cut throat and blunt man who arranged every aspect of Armstrong’s career, and had ties to mob; and portrays MILES DAVIS who doesn’t approve of Armstrong catering to white audiences.
