"High proof." -- Soundcheck

This is what happens when fun becomes serious. Lounge Lizards, formed in the late seventies in New York's downtown scene around cult figure and actor John Lurie, call their mixture of jazz and avant-garde rock "Fake Jazz." In 1991, the group packed Berlin's Quartier Latin for several nights, and the memorable concerts were not only filmed, but also preserved for posterity on two CDs. Features members of Slow Poke and Medeski, Martin & Wood.
