In 1998 The Jazz Passengers toured Europe as they always did twice a year. Their virtuosity and brilliant sense of humor were already legendary. Deborah Harry had recently joined the band which brought in huge audiences. As far as jazz was concerned, they were wise-cracking punks. Cool was for the past. Hal Dace filmed them in Oxford and London. The audiences were ecstatic and the music was the best. Dace then went to town with the post-production to make one of the best concert documentary films you’ll ever see. Visually expressive in a style you are guaranteed never to have seen before, and edited to show The Passengers’ personalities in their humorous and ingenious glory.
