    A 2004 comedy film, co-written and directed by the Japanese filmmaker Shinobu Yaguchi, about the efforts of a group of high school girls to form a jazz band.

    Quite remarkable playing!

    Hello Art

    That film was so popular here. All the junior high schools have a brass band club and the playing is of a really high standard. Mind you as with most Japanese things they do it almost to a professional level practicing before and after school almost every day, on weekends and even in the holidays. My local school just won the regional competition with a great set of Elvis and Rock’n’Roll numbers, they put on quite a show!

    Just had a browse at the fount of all knowledge Wikipedia

    They did play all the music live and some of them had only 5 months to learn their instruments.

    Love the drummers relaxed groovy style

    When the Japanese do something anything other than perfect isn’t an option which is a strength and a weakness!
