ACMI, with the Melbourne International Jazz Festival and OtherFilm, plays host to a one-off cine-happening, a veritable jazz-archaeological treasure trove of swinging celluloid, hepster radiophonics and interventionist improvisation, all stitched together in a cut-and-paste homage to the wide, weird world of jazz.

Includes portraits, excerpts, solos, and pranks featuring Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Shorty Petterstein, The Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra, Elvin Jones, How To Speak Hip, Dizzy Gillespie, John Cassavetes and Don Burrows.
