Almost exactly a century ago, jazz was born. It would quickly become the defining sound of change in American culture. At the heart of this musical revolution was a band called The Catz, the earliest pioneers of this new sound. The Jazz Catz tells the swinging tale of jazz's origins, as it moves from New Orleans, its birthplace, to mainstream popularity in Chicago, as seen through the Catz' eyes - Blues, Tom, Slim and Kitty, the coolest cats in town. Blues, Tom, Kitty and Slim are The Jazz Catz, New Orleans's pioneers of America's newest form of musical expression, jazz. In a society controlled by the powerful, but bad, Dogz, the Catz struggle to be heard. After running for their nine lives away from their own underground club in New Orleans, the Catz find themselves playing at Boss Dog's upmarket club in Chicago, hoping to find fame and fortune with their music without losing their souls. When the group discover that Boss Dog is exploiting the Catz, the band are forced to leave everything behind again. Will the Catz ever land on their feet? Or will the Dogz have their day?
