When it comes to commercial music, the number one crown globally goes to ...pop. No surprises there.

The top ten comprises of all the usual suspects, such as hip hop/rap and rock music, and country, as well as Latin music and EDM (Electronic Dance Music).

Propping up the list, right at the bottom is jazz. Again, not a real surprise. It is a genre of its time, and not one likely to see a resurgence of popularity anytime soon. It’s laid back, atmospheric and unconventional, especially free form jazz where anything goes.

This film celebrates a particular time in history – the seventies, and a small pocket of geography – Germany, where jazz found a welcome home, that was certainly helped by a certain promoter featured.

Drinking in a bar where live music was playing was 18-year-old Vera Brandes (Mala Emde). Playing that night was English jazz musician Ronnie Scott (Daniel Betts), who Vera approaches after the gig.

Ronnie is taken by her, but not in the way Vera thought, as he has a proposition for her – to be his promoter and find gigs for him to play in Germany.

Despite still being at school - unbeknownst to Ronnie, Vera agrees and sets out planning his tour.

She does surprisingly well, considering she knows nothing about promoting artists, which leads to her putting on a concert for a certain jazz icon Keith Jarrett (John Magaro) – but can she really pull it off?

This is not only the third film by Israeli-born director Ido Fluk, but each one in a different language: 2011’s Never Too Late in Hebrew, 2016’s The Ticket in English, and this his third mainly in German. It’s a reflection of his own free form ability, where language is certainly no barrier.

It’s biographical, based on the remarkable early life of Vera Brandes, who as only a teenager managed to blag her way to promoting some seminal gigs, with Jarrett’s being no exception.

It has the warmth of vinyl about it, recreating seventies Germany with a keen and savvy eye.

It’s also quite playful, again showing his ability to break with convention – like jazz – by showing the fourth wall; this presents itself in not only a character talking to the audience, jazz journalist Michael Watts (played by Michael Chernus), but also giving us a brief jazz history to boot.

This character also has his own mini story, wedged professionally into Vera’s, with his unplanned road trip with Jarrett and his manager.

You shouldn’t concern yourself if you’re not a fan of jazz, as its music at least doesn’t feature heavily in the film. What it is, is a celebration of a young woman’s life, who takes an opportunity when it comes her way, despite her parents disapproval.

Another ‘track’ would be a nice story about getting a piano, that just flows effortlessly into that narrative’s proceedings.

All in all Fluk’s film has a pleasing energy to it, featuring some great turns, especially from vibrant Emde, as he entertainingly turns back time for what would become a historical gig.
