"The Best F****** Band in The World ...THE JAM! " Thick As Thieves Book Documentary!




From our good friends over at Zani:

ZANI Media are proud to present, in conjunction with Stuart Deabill and Ian "Snowy" Snowball – authors of Thick As Thieves Personal Situations With The Jam. (Published by Marshall Cavendish - Release Date 20th September 2012).

Thick As Thieves is a short and informative documentary on "The Best F****** Band in The World ...THE JAM!"

Fans young and old, including the likes of renowned photographer Grant Fleming and Journalist and Author Garry Bushell, former band associates such as Dennis Munday (Polydor records), Bill Smith (Cover sleeve designer) and many more talk about their passion and experiences with the band, that still means so much to so many people, after their official split in December 1982.

The documentary is directed by Award Winning Film Maker Paolo Sedazzari of Brand New Films.

The idea to capture the essence of the forthcoming book (Thick As Thieves Personal Situations With The Jam) into a documentary came about from a brief telephone conversation between Stuart and ZANI's editor Matteo Sedazzari.

Fuelled by the energy of The Jam and using Direction, Reaction and Creation as their template, ZANI Media, Stuart Deabill and Ian "Snowy" Snowball decided to use the services of Paolo Sedazzari , and film the people talking about Paul, Bruce and Rick.

In this 25 minute documentary you will see the pure emotion, pride and belief as everyone talks about The Jam. Please give the film a view which may inspire you, as the band has certainly inspired a generation and many more to come.

The conviction to make this documentary is proof that the unity amongst The Jam's fans is as strong as it was back in the day. Paul Weller's closing statement on The Jam, "Belief Is All", best sums up the project.

Album Preview: Paul Weller Recruits Noel Gallagher, Thunderstorms to Share His “22 Dreams” “You get to this stage in life where you say ‘I’ve done everything that I can do,’” says Paul Weller. As he passes the half-century mark, Weller easily could have returned to his old stomping grounds, whether it was the mod-punk of his first band the Jam or the pop leanings of the Style Council. But rather than reliving past glory, Weller spent the last year recording 22 Dreams, the most expansive and experimental album of his career. “I was conscious when I walked into the studio that I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to make As Is Now Part 2,” Weller tells Rock Daily. “There was this mentality where it was like, ‘Let’s try anything that comes into your mind.’” Weller sequestered himself in his country studio, recruited some famous Britpop friends like Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher and Blur’s Graham Coxon and spent hours improvising with his band. The result was 22 Dreams, a genre-leapin...
