A documentary on Australian Jazz and improvised art music focussing on its development from the 1950s post war American influences through to the Australian sound in the 1980s-90s. The documentary has interviews with many important figures of the Australian Jazz movement. It is invaluable that live footage of these performers of the time has been documented and their influence on the development of improvised music in Australia discussed in a candid way during the interviews.
After waiting for a bus at Fern Tree that never arrives, a clown takes refuge under the snowy rocks of Mount Wellington and frolics on the wintery beach at Kingston with a black dog.
