      About This Book

      White British guitarist Frank Magnani arrives in fifties New York to break into the smoky world of Jazz. Coming from the austerity of post-war Europe to a land of plenty he finds there's plenty to learn. His education is not confined to music alone, he must also find himself in a world where ego is everything, the musicians are black, and drink and drugs the fuel of creativity.
      Caught up in the violence of the city, Magnani flees on a journey through the southern states and his own mental state too. His personal odyssey is complete when he returns to the club-scene of New York in a dramatic climax to his career and this atmospheric novel.
