The multi-talented Tyler Perry returns to Netflix for another original movie titled ‘A Jazzman’s Blues,’ written, directed, and produced by the Academy Award honoree.
A tale of forbidden love, ‘A Jazzman’ stars Joshua Boone and Solea Pfeiffer who play magnetized lovers Bayou Boyd and Leanne Jean Harper. Forty years of secrets and lies come to light to the tune of juke joint blues in this movie, set in the deep South.
That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid spoke with Perry, Boone and Pfeiffer about the inspiration behind the screenplay (which was 27-years in the making), the experience of shooting the movie, and more.
