[Dixielandjazz] 'Bessie' the film.

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Listmates.
DJMLer Helen Thompson has alerted me to the latest update on the long-awated Queen Latifah Bessie Smith film.
The one we have been waiting for (along with Forest Whitaker's Louis Armstrong bio-film) for quite a few years.
"Bessie" is scheduled to premiere on HBO (US) on Saturday, 16 May 2015.

We aliens will have to wait for our cable channels to pick it up.
The following link is the latest update I could find on the Louis' film:
