When it comes to timeless music, nothing is as evergreen as Louis Armstrong. The iconic jazz singer and trumpeter is an inspiration to many, like Gwyn Jay Allen. Allen’s love and admiration of Armstrong’s body of work is one that began many years ago. Now, he’s ready to pay tribute to the star in I Love Louis.
Labeled as a “Creole” tribute to Armstrong, I Love Louis will feature original material by Allen as well as renditions of Armstrong’s classics like “It’s A Wonderful World,” “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’.” We have a feeling that there’ll be plenty of sing-alongs at this show.
I Love Louis is not just Allen’s labour of love as it is actually a collaboration with pianist Alex Wilson, a well-know name in UK’s jazz scene. The music is certainly in good hands. With Allen’s West End chops (he starred as Cab Calloway in The Blues Brothers musical), there’s little doubt that I Love Louis will entertain in many ways. Don’t believe us? Well, the tour has already landed in Melbourne where it was greeted warmly, and will continue to travel in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. That many cities can’t be wrong, right?
