White British guitarist Frank Magnani arrives in fifties New York to break into the smoky world of jazz. Coming home 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 also finds himself in a world where ego is everything, the musicians are black, and the drink and drugs the fuel of creativity. Caught up in the violence of the city, Magnani flees on a journey through the southern provinces 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.
Roger Granelli is a musician and writer. He is the author of five novels.
