Ever-hip purveyors of 80’s cool, John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards slam out their post-free-jazz music on stage in Berlin at the height of their powers. In an almost never seen film documentary of a sold-out performance in 1991, Lurie and the band bring down the house.
The New York Times called it “engaging” and Variety said it was “enlightening”. A rare jazz treat recovered from obscurity, JOHN LURIE AND THE LOUNGE LIZARDS LIVE IN BERLIN, 1991 is No-Wave Jazz at its best.
