Director Statement

One of the best experiences we had as a group was meeting talking to all the people onscreen and off screen about jazz.

we took up a subject we knew nothing about, and learned a lot about the genre and its history in Ireland.

We captured so much content and covered different aspects of this genre, unfortunately, we couldn't add everything on screen and make a 2 hour documentary. we are proud of what we (Five Bampt) put together.
