We Are from Jazz (Russian: Мы из джаза, romanized: My iz dzhaza) is a 1983 Soviet comedy musical film by Karen Shakhnazarov.

Determined to start his own jazz band, Kostya attracts two musician friends, street performers Stepa Grushko and Zhora Ryabov, through an ad.

Just as Kostya despairs, two “gentlemen” arrive, offering the band a gig at the birthday party of a man known as “Papa.” The performance at “Papa’s” party—a prominent thief, as it turns out—lands the musicians in a police cell.

There, they meet Ivan Ivanovich Bavurin, a saxophonist who used to play in the Preobrazhensky Regiment and is the missing piece Kostya needs for a full jazz band.

Their audition before a committee for permission to play in the Hermitage Garden also fails, receiving harsh criticism from the orchestra leader Orlov.
