Gwyn Jay Allen ‘I Love Louis’

About

Gwyn Jay Allen and Alex Wilson bring I Love Louis to PizzaExpress Live Soho - jazz, rhythm, storytelling and New Orleans spirit, fresh from Festival da Jazz in St Moritz. More than a tribute, I Love Louis looks at the man behind the famous smile and draws out the parallels with Allen and Wilson's shared Sierra Leone Creole heritage. Together they weave their family stories into jazz's extraordinary journey - from its African roots to New Orleans and back across the Atlantic. Vocalist Shireen Francis joins the company, bringing another dimension to Armstrong's story through Ella Fitzgerald and the women who shared Louis's life.
