Jazzman from the Gulag   

As a jazz trumpeter, Eddie Rosner was world-class, earning comparison even to Louis Armstrong.  As a Polish Jew born in Berlin, however, Rosner was continually on the wrong side of history.  A member of the Weintraub Syncopators, he fled the Nazis only to run afoul of Stalinism, and later spent years in Siberia as a suspected American spy--surviving only because of his awesome talent. French director Pierre-Henry Salfati and Russian writer Natalya Sazonova movingly chronicle an extraordinary man who over and over again lost virtually everything—except for his deep love of jazz.  Live Jazz  at Cinerama with Trumpeter Jim Knodle and Bassist Jon Sampson.
