Not only fans of jazz music will be fascinated by this documentary about a band where all of the members are at least 80 years of age. Reminiscent of the documentary “The Buena Vista Social Club”, this film follows the Peace Old Jazz Band’s performances in China as well as their preparation for special appearances at the biggest jazz music festival in the Netherlands. Each of the group members is interviewed, highlighting their long-term commitment to their music and the group. It is worth noting that they are listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the band with the oldest surviving members. They formed in 1980 and have played countless venues and events, always with the same wit and commitment to their music.
Language: English and Vietnamese subtitles.
