Through deadpan Ken Burns-style interviews of the people that loved and hated him, the viewer is taken inside The Silver Nugget, the Sacramento jazz club where Carruthers became infamous. The highs and lows of Gerry's life, from the release of his first and only hit song to the colossal failure of his 28-member jazz fusion experiment, are 'dramatized' using gorgeous stop-motion animation of one-of-a-kind character puppets. 'Jazzman' also features a lush original jazz score by Seattle musicians and composers. Written by Anonymous See less
