Living Daylights is a progressive jazz trio from Seattle, composed of Jessica Lurie (alto/tenor sax and flute), Arne Livingston (bass), and Dale Fanning (drums). They have toured with John Scofield, Groove Collective, Robert Walter, Wayne Shorter, Maceo Parker, and Soulive.
A 2000 review of the Earshot Jazz Festival described the band as the "most promising among the four Seattle acts appearing on opening night", and a "jam-jazz juggernaut fronted by saxophonist Jessica Lurie" that "spin a taut musical yarn, one that reflects a dazzlingly rhythmic sense of melody".
