Beyond El Rocco Trailers

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.

Reviews
DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
