This is a new part of an old story: 1930s Berlin, the threat of imprisonment and the powerful desire to make something beautiful despite the horror. Chip told us not to go out. Said, don't you boys tempt the devil. But it's been one brawl of a night, I tell you. The aftermath of the fall of Paris, 1940. Hieronymous Falk, a rising star on the cabaret scene, was arrested in a cafe and never heard from again. He was twenty years old. He was a German citizen. And he was black. Fifty years later, Sid, Hiero's bandmate and the only witness that day, is going back to Berlin. Persuaded by his old friend Chip, Sid discovers there's more to the journey than he thought when Chip shares a mysterious letter, bringing to the surface secrets buried since Hiero's fate was settled. In "Half Blood Blues", Esi Edugyan weaves the horror of betrayal, the burden of loyalty and the possibility that, if you don't tell your story, someone else might tell it for you. And they just might tell it wrong...

I only thank god he was so disciplined back then, that we got the best of his playing on that recording. That I got the best of it. See, Half Blood Blues, 3 mins 33 secs, is almost all I got out of that time. I ain't sore about it. Ain't no glory made from being dependable. But it started Chip's career a second time. Jolted the man awake again. And, well, it made Hiero one of the most famous jazz trumpeters of his generation.

One: convince Columbia to remaster and release the recording with huge distribution. Two: track down those of us ain't dead yet. Three: tour us Hot-Time Swingers to fame, fortune and all that damned et cetera.
