Check out the video made by Paul Cram in Toronto back in 1984.

Jazz Isn't Dead (It's Just Bad for Business) is one of the first punk jazz videos made. It's a hoot!

We're getting lots of hits on the Kings of Sming video.

The piece, Jazz isn't Dead was written by bassist James Young, now resident in Victoria.

The video was a collective effort by the group but mainly revolves around the theme of this piece.
