Fun for the whole family and perfect for film aficionados – “Sherlock Jr.” is a 1924 American silent comedy film starring and directed by Buster Keaton, ranked as one of the top 100 funniest films of all time by the American Film Institute. Keaton plays a movie projectionist who dreams of being great detective. This brilliant film-within-a-film is clever and timeless. Gideon Freudmann of CelloBop adds imaginative, original accompaniment that breathes new life into this classic film, incorporating classical, jazz, folk and world music. Working with a cello and an array of pedal effects, he creates elaborate sound textures, catchy melodies and exciting rhythms.
