Superb cast, more please!
If you can catch just about anything else written by Plater (or starring these wonderful actors). For anyone who doesn't know Plater has a real feeling for jazz, my recommendation is to see the 'Beiderbecke' trilogy whenever you can.
"There's three kinds of jazz - Hot, Cool and 'What time does the tune start?'"
