Last week, Sarit Work sent along the following email about pianist Junior Mance...
"I'm producing a feature documentary about the love story of legendary jazz pianist Junior Mance and his wife and manager, Gloria Clayborne Mance. The film is co-directed by Jyllian Gunther and Adam Kahan. Junior suffered a stroke in 2012, which led to the onset of dementia. Though his musical abilities were untouched, his mental and physical decline has forced Gloria's role to take on a whole new meaning. She is tasked with winding down Junior's legendary career as he looses his identity—while still, somehow, maintaining her own. Today we've launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funding to bring on an editor to help us tell this important story, so we're trying to get the word out about the film."
See the trailer and donate what you can here.
