Jazz in PerthProduced by Matt Kelly, Directed by Eddie Narain
Jazz has witnessed many generations of change and has been involved in instigating social reform. It has helped shape popular music and mainstream culture as we know it. ‘Alive And Swinging - Jazz In Perth’ documents why a thriving Jazz scene emerged in the most remote city in the world. Through interviews with many of Perth’s most respected Jazz ambassadors we see that Jazz in this city is vibrant, engaging wider audiences and capturing the imagination of young musicians.
