It's 2012, Spain is suffering intensely the financial crisis. It's the year when huge weekly protests become the norm. Meanwhile, at the notorious Jamboree Jazz Club of Barcelona, youngsters take a stand against the despair. They represent a cry for life. They improvise openheartedly, be it jazz, hip hop, or electronica. It is the WTF Jam Sessions. But the crisis consumes them all. WTF is close to disappearing.
For the 80 years old Pere Ferrer this news does not come by surprise; he has inaugurated and ended many clubs. Along with Wally Besser, they are the only survivors of Jamboree's first live band in 1949. Past and present mixes. Finally, young and old musicians will join music together.
