The Man with the Jazz Guitar

From its World Premiere on Ken's birthday, Friday 13th April 2012 in Glasgow, to its UK theatrical release, North American and Australian Premiere, the film continues to travel the world for people to discover and enjoy Ken Sykora and his legacy.
The film is a charming and inventive musical biography that uses Ken's archive as the primary source material and mixes animation, sound clips from his radio programmes, memorabilia and photographs - all set to an evocative soundtrack featuring Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and rare recordings of Ken not heard for more than 50 years. Intimate interviews with his three children, close friends and colleagues tell the captivating story of a modest man who dedicated his life to sharing his love of music, words, food and Django Reinhardt. It is a touching illustration of how circumstances, relationships and serendipity can have a profound bearing on our lives and those closest to us.
