In Walked Bud
Jerome stands, teetering and drinking, on a ledge twelve stories above Churchill Grounds, 'the best jazz bar in the world,' where regulars and out-of-towners seek a laugh, friend or piece of ass. One bar fly, Charles, a penniless bi-polar writer, begins to un-hinge when his unrequited lover, Alice, returns to the bar to sing.
The night climaxes with an ecstatic performance of 'In Walked Bud' by Atlanta's most accomplished jazz musicians. Bud, the recently 'stabbed in the brain with a fork' horn player who can now only play sad ballads, morphs this upbeat tune into a beautiful melancholy improvisation that breaths hope into Jerome's suicidal soul. Have a drink and enjoy conversational voyeurism set to an original score of soulful bebop.
