Lil Hardin and her man, Louis Armstrong, were musical royalty--inventing a new kind of sound--makin' jazz. Believe it, baby! This is the true story of Lil Hardin Armstrong: pianist, composer, and bandleader in the early days of jazz.

Louis might never have become the groundbreaking jazz player he was, if it hadn't been for Lil.
