An old jazz musician reflects on the key relationships of his life. Music is always present in the story which gives it a certain elegance and sophistication (are they not characteristics one associates with jazz?).He expresses sadness as a father and the grief of losing and missing the woman who held his heart in her hands. The struggle of not feeling like he achieved enough as a muso.It's understated story but one that touches the drama in all of us.My only suggestion would be focus on only the one relationship as I felt each one was all too fleeting which frustrated me a little, the story being only 15 pages long.A quick read and at $2.99 a worthwhile investment.
