description: When a graduate student with a passion for jazz arrives in New York to discover that a legendary musician he had assumed long dead—a great saxophonist known for his pork pie hat—is not only still alive but playing in an East Village club, he spends night after night in attendance, awed by the majesty of the man's art.And a short time later, when the legend grants him an interview on Halloween, he jumps at the opportunity. What unfolds is an endless night filled with an extraordinary story told by a dying master-artist: a story centred upon the Halloween night of his eleventh year, a white woman screaming in a shanty town, a killer named Eddie Grimes, and an unidentified man fleeing from nightmare with a strange bundle in his arms.
