LOUIS TO PREMIERE WITH 5 CITY TOUR IN LATE AUGUST ACCOMPANIED BY WYNTON 
MARSALIS, CECILE LICAD AND AN ALL-STAR JAZZ ENSEMBLE 

 
LOUIS, a silent film directed by Dan Pritzker and starring Jackie Earle Haley 
and Shanti Lowry, will premiere in US cities in late August with live musical 
accompaniment by Wynton Marsalis, renowned pianist Cecile Licad and a 10-piece 
all-star jazz ensemble, including Sherman Irby, Victor Goines, Marcus Printup, 
Ted Nash, Kurt Bacher, Vincent Gardner, Wycliffe Gordon, Dan Nimmer, Carlos 
Henriquez, Ali Jackson, and conductor Andy Farber. Marsalis will play a score 
comprised primarily of his own compositions. Licad will play the music of 19th 
century American composer L.M. Gottschalk. The group will perform live with the 
film in a series of special performances in New York City, Chicago, Washington 
DC, Detroit, and Philadelphia August 25 - 31. 

 
Louis is set in 1907 New Orleans and tells the story of a young boy born into 
poverty who dreams of playing the trumpet. The action takes place in “The 
District” – the section of New Orleans dedicated to pleasure and violence. Louis 
pays homage to Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin, beautiful women and the birth 
of the great American art form, jazz.
