Jazz Café Basie: The Ballad of Swifty (2020)

Seeking their best "sound" is why people gather into a small jazz cafe BASIE nowhere in the world at Ichinoseki, North East county in Japan. It seems a sanctuary for global jazz players, fans, and audio maniacs. Filming BASIE owner Sugawara Shoji tuning a 50-year-old JBL speaker everyday, stock footage became more than 150 hours.
