The Man with the Jazz Guitar

Martin Taylor Jimmie Macgregor Django Reinhardt Ken Sykora Six and Stéphane Grappelli The Man with the Jazz Guitar is a 2012 British documentary film about the jazz guitarist Ken Sykora.

[2] It was described by film critic Philip French as an “affectionate, affecting and altogether delightful documentary”.

[3] "The film paints a contented picture of life in Suffolk, with interviews with Ken’s friends – former Ipswich dentist Ronnie Caiels, folk musician David Penrose and his lodger, singer Julie Gleave.

[4] A review in Sight And Sound wrote, "It presents itself as something of a restoration narrative, in which a forgotten figure receives the credit and interest he is due, but it never insists on any epochal importance for its subject.

There are glimpses of influence: gestures toward the impression his BBC programme devoted to the guitar must have had on a younger (and far louder) generation of players who came of age in the sixties.
