What we think

There are stretches that feel more like an educational lecture than a proper film, but intimate archive footage and recordings and, of course, sublime music keep Black & Blues compelling.

What others think

Like one of Armstrong’s great solos, it feels packed with dynamics, sprinkled with astonishing high notes, and immensely pleasurable.
