[Dixielandjazz] Miles Davis - - - The Movie?

[Hal Vickery]

A biopic about Armstrong, focusing on his drug bust was made for TV in 1976
titled "Louis Armstrong:  Chicago Style."  It starred Ben Vereen and as I
recall wasn't very good.

I've never seen Gary Giddins' documentary "Louis Armstrong:  Satchmo," so no
comment.  But that's documentary, too, as opposed to biopic.

I've been wanting to see a movie about Miles Davis for quite sometime. 
I'm curious to see how well the actor they pick could portray him. I'd 
also love to see a movie done about Louis Armstrong too.
