About this movie
The Jazzman is a journey through the life of John Kadly. From his early childhood and throughout his youth, to his romantic life and his struggles to fulfill his calling as a jazz drummer, The Jazzman examines the hardship that he faces while living in the shadow of his local jazz legend father.
As John struggles to cope with the monotony of working construction and his dream to achieve success as a drummer, he meets a young social worker named Sara. He takes her to a local jazz club and talks his way into playing one tune to impress her, which then leads to his becoming the quartet's regular drummer. Faced with many personal challenges along the way, John must learn the importance of family as he finds his way along the path that his father started to ultimately understand what life as 'The Jazzman' really means.
