Netflix’s “A Jazzman’s Blues” directed by Tyler Perry, is a romantic drama that follows the forbidden love of a young couple, Bayou and Leanne, as they try to stay in their lives from adolescence to adulthood. The couple bond over the fact that they feel like outcasts in their community, and their bond only grows stronger as they spend more time together. However, when Leanne’s family forbids their relationship, the two are forced to go their separate ways.
The narrative then turns to a murder mystery coupled with a series of musical numbers, as Bayou becomes a musical sensation after several years and Leanne marries another man. When old flames rekindle between them, they decide to run away together, but some dark secrets from their past weigh on their relationship.
The setting of two different decades, the 1940s and the 1980s, against the backdrop of the countryside and the city, will probably make you wonder where ‘A Jazzman’s Blues’ was filmed. Well, in that case, you might be wondering what we have to share!
Where Was A Jazzman’s Blues Movie Filmed?
