This is the story of Australia's most popular modern jazz group of the 1960s, and their best-selling debut album Move.

The Three Out were Australia's most popular modern jazz band. Their debut album Move was recorded just six weeks after the trio formed at Sydney's famous El Rocco jazz club and sold over 3,000 copies upon its release in 1961. Detailing the careers of each member, Australian drummer Chris Karan, Dutch bassist Freddy Logan, and New Zealand pianist Mike Nock, this book looks at how they came together to push Australian jazz to new heights, and why they split up after two successful albums.

Forming in 1960, The Three Out toured Australia, New Zealand, and Europe before going onto greater things. As each member forged new careers, performing with artists such as Dudley Moore, Tubby Hayes, and Yusef Lateef, The Three Out's debut album - and indeed the trio itself - became a footnote in the careers of its members. They were mostly known to collectors only until a German record label reissued their albums in 2015 and brought them back into the spotlight.

Featuring new interviews with Mike Nock, Chris Karan, and those who played with them, this book cements the importance of The Three Out's Move within Australia jazz history, and documents the album's remastering and rediscovery by contemporary listeners.
