Synopsis

London-based jazz saxophonist Nathan Haines returns home to perform with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, where he's to be accompanied by his bassist father, Kevin, and guitarist brother, Joel in a musical family reunion. They've followed different paths since the mid-80s when Nathan was 14 and they used to play as a trio (seen here in archive footage). The NZSO concert features standards and new songs from the brothers. This doco backgrounds those songs, and follows the tricky business of melding jazz group and orchestra in rehearsal and concert.

Quotes

Not many people do an album these days where everybody’s playing at the same time. If anyone makes a mistake, it’s a mistake and it’s going to be there forever. It doesn’t go away.  
To be asked to play with the 80-piece orchestra just blew me away, but then I had to actually turn it into a reality which has been the hard part.
