Long March Through the Jazz Age is the last recorded work by Chris Bailey and The Saints. It’s a moving farewell – a testament to a restless, uncompromising artist who always moved forward, one of rock’s great lyricists and iconoclasts.
From Bailey’s rough demos, Long March Through the Jazz Age grew into a deeply human snapshot of modern times. It marks the end of Chris Bailey and The Saints’ remarkable journey – over four decades of music making and rule defying..
“In my opinion, The Saints were Australia’s greatest band…. and Chris Bailey was my favourite singer” NICK CAVE
“One of the most sporadically brilliant, frustratingly uneven and most undeniably important bands Australia has ever produced” THE GUARDIAN
