This is a great posting I found on the Sun Break website posted by Seattle actor, musician, singer, and filmmaker Ben Harris.
CRO-MAGNON PICTURES has written in to let everyone know about the premiere of their feature film, A Jazzman’s Jazzman: The Gerry Carruthers Story. Look for it at The Fremont Abbey (4272 Fremont Ave N) on Friday, September 10, 2010. Screenings are at 7 and 9:30 p.m., with live music in between.

About the film…
A Jazzman’s Jazzman is a hilarious and unique blend of mockumentary and stop-motion animation. Equal parts Spinal Tap and Ken Burns’ Jazz, it follows the life and times of fictional pianist Gerry Carruthers as he struggles for fame and recognition against all odds.
The stories of Carruthers, his friends and enemies, and the club where he became infamous are brought to vivid life by a cast of skilled Seattle actors and musicians in improvised interviews, and “dramatized” in gorgeous stop-motion animation of characters created by Eric “Two Scoops” Moore.
The film also features a fantastic original score by local musicians Birch Pereira and Tim Kennedy.
