We just set inside

I figure he was stuck in the back of his

head against something probably the wall

looks like he died instantly how'd you

happen to be here you mind kinda said

Carl said he want to talk over insurance

matter we knew each other casually Thor

always unlocked I figured he left it

open for me that somebody else got there

first and well thank you is that the

list of stolen items yes

Crescent City Kings record collection

one clarinet one cornet not just any

cornet or clarinet clarinet was Joe Joe

Miller's cornet with the one used by

Jimbo Rollins are you sure that's all

those missing there's not enough a

record collection is only valued at $200

those two horns are insured for over 100

thousand a hundred grand for a couple of

old horns well jazz balls can be just as

fanatical as art collectors yeah I'd say

- murder was pretty fanatical mr. Clayton - the bassist Street collection it's still

There

yes the Barbara manuscripts well they're

all accounted for

all right thanks thanks forward Oh is

there anything else I can do for you

gentlemen

no we're about through here for the time

bein all right if you dig me I'll be in

the office mr. Longstreet the Board of

Directors will be very anxious to

recover those instruments yes I know

Mike the only idea what their insurance

matter was all I know is when the

insurance counties I worked for a local

policy on those instruments watch the

glass they let some of the pieces in

does that smell like to you

no I did I was a little like like

cosmoline but that's not what it is

that's not it somewhere before them well

soon as you copy the lab report when

it's ready

it's strange well why would the thief

take the Crescent City Kings records

instead of the bassist recollection of

the barbel manuscripts they're both in

the same cabinet with a lot more money

in the private market well jazz isn't my

cup of tea I'm more of a show fan and WC

man myself

good morning meal no no harm this

practice fallacy Ralph

Andrew Clayton hired by the Jazz Society

when it was still just one remember

Gundy Street I'm going to assistant

director three years ago a lot more

- knowledgeable about jazz history than - mr. Doucet Truman lavinius deck bar if a

Man who found and donated Jimbo was

hauling in a jazz society had you

discussed Oh mister deck bar is supposed

to have on the finest private jazz

collections in the world and he gives

away a rare find like Jimbo's horn yeah

are you quite sure he's harmless he's

all for big Shepherds every poodles on

Fridays right thanks you know I like

this room antique furniture heavy drapes

you can touch the furniture but the

heavy drapes all homes and st. Charles

have a 15-foot ceilings but our voices

don't sound hollow heavy drapes we'll do

that all right you're a well-adjusted

clever man but I still don't know what

you want with me mr. Longstreet I have

no knowledge of the theft all of the

murder

I understand that you found Jimbo

Rawlins horn in a shop on a cater Street

the historical exchange I tried I put

you several artifacts there how how did

you know it was Jimbo's horn why didn't

it first please sit down I have

purchased one because the make and model

are very rare it was until after I got

it home and cleaned and polished it that

I saw the initials jr. inside to bill

collectors have been searching for that

hundred years I'm told you have one of

the finest jazz collections in the world

it should make a remarkable discovery

finding Jim Owens Horne and you turn

around give it away quite frankly a

political ploy I wanted to be nominated

to the jazz society's Board of Directors

- but you were passed over why somebody - blackballed me charles de said charlie

Didn't like me

is one of those inane grudges some

people nurture for years now just one

last thing someone try

Jimbo's horn back to you let me know we

have of course or Joe Joe Miller's

clarinet I assure you I would return the

instruments to the Jazz decide if I

could recover them I'm sure you would

okay okay don't spoil it right now we

gotta take a short one don't go away we

tuxedo the night he was killed was

anything special on that night what are

we being concert and then afterwards he

said he had some work to do so I left

him here in the office alone what do you

have in mind something I can't quite

cornet and a clarinet you want to come

along with me mr. Longstreet thanks boys

there was only one man who got blow like

that

Jimbo Rollins on his channels last

recording we gonna do is just slip on

your cutting well it sounds pretty good

doesn't it

have stolen those instruments for

sentimental reason they did it's good

you seen another one I doubt it

I mean why why does he keep pushing me

away

when I was a little girl I guess I was

about six I used to love to explore

empty houses and vacant buildings I

thought they were mysterious exciting

and then one day my little puppy

followed me into one and got lost it was

the first time in my life I was ever

scared I mean really scared not for

myself for my puppy lost somewhere in

all that darkness I love you Nikki and

I'm not afraid of the dark

got sick of some let's call me I let him

borrow girls what's this have to do with

you man I'm shagging everyone who's at

the Jazz Society concert at night and

includes the band and Gus wait a minute

you don't think Gus had anything to do

- with what happened I don't know Danny do - you well he's not a thief he's so not

Matter maybe there's some reason we

don't know about you find anything out

in order to find that

exhale right right no man like Truman

deck bar lying is as much out of

characters brown shoes of the blue suit

I see holding back why so right well

those two horns would make an important

addition to his own jazz collection why

would he donate Jimbo's heart into

society and then steal it back

understand that lemon wrong cotton

bouquet Carter what about Clayton I seem

to have a lot of respect for an

organization that honors jazz pioneers I

only steal from him well right then that

takes it back together well I can't

quite picture him as a killer

that's what madam bordelon said of her

husband who's man aboard on the fourth

wife of Bluebeard Mike are you sure

you're not letting your feelings for

Danny get any way you think I can't see

something is right in front of me close

was since then the stolen record

collections turned up no word on the

instruments of your anything mr.

Longstreet I admit I was impressed with

you when you were here before I just

stop while you're ahead open hostility

it's out of character for a man like you

you sent as though you have been

sleeping lately just what do you want

with me well for one thing that private

jazz collection of yours I'd like to see

it see

do you mind no of course not would you

follow me back selected I began

collecting jazz memorabilia I was still

in college I used to play the banjo a

little oh really mm-hmm

not professional of course just a

parties and things like that

come in mr. Longstreet boy I wish you

could really see my place I'm gonna

pictures here you wouldn't believe

Street Band's the great performers of

the era I came in here I've got a banjo

dates back Antebellum days I'll watch

after the table that's cymbal is part of

the traps belong to big eared ESPO a

drummer for the riverboat Fire Island

they have a neat sheets here so I'm

dating back to the turn of the century

that wall on mute used to belong to

Billy Watson what's that ah just a note

Ruthie supposed to belong to Holly

Phillips oh really

I didn't think they made buffets in

Phillips time wait a minute this

is interesting what you know what this

is mr. deck bar it's a full beam very

unusual in New Orleans jazz circles very

two men used it

Jojo Miller was one I have a substance I

got it I was going to give it back to

the Jazz Society I just wanted to have

it you know what mr. Dekker I believe

you as well tell you the rest of it that

two weeks ago when I realized I had

Jimbo Rollins horn I released the story

to the press that evening some gentleman

phoned me said he wanted to buy and I

refused he threatened me that's when I

decided to donate the horn to the

society

well I uh I appreciate your candor

thanks laughs miss long ski aren't you

going to do just clarinet with you I

don't you think it'd be better if you

returned it to the society personally

pleasant dreams

you felt a while brother breakup

can be split

Stanny

at the bar hi Niki Mike hey Mike can I

talk to you Danny alone what's the

matter with you Mike we're supposed to

- be friends trying to keep it that way - and get off my back about Gus whoever

Killed his set let something sticky on

the lock and the cushion of hell Jimbo's

horn something you smelled a little like

cosmoline so what rosin smells like that

kind of rosin bass players used this

humidity at Mel's get sticky your recent

man you're reaching for straws and the

police found a peculiar fingerprint a

smudge callus would show up like that

well bass men have calluses on the hands

and and bourbon streets lousy with bass

players must be 30 of them in hall with

- only one played the gig the Jazz Society - concert that night Gus and you

Arranged for him to play I checked with

less mark at his bass player wasn't sick

you called him what are you bucking for

to win a blue ribbon with Gus's neck and

you know I'm not going I'm not sure you

hear me whitey

honey it's still there

deep down

called over yourself when you were kid I

know you Danny I knew you and you could

see so you're angry then once a while

was ever black and white anger how do

you do it make step at a time

what would you say when people ask you

what it's like to be blind I say the

only thing wrong with being blind is you

can't see I want to help Denny clap me

you ever have a who could Braniff in the

gun get last gasp wasn't need he did it

for me you knew I wanted Jim boats long

I tried to bite off that big dog cat

even threatened when he gave it to the

society I started calling you say same

thing I needed that horn why why because

because your Jimbo's son roberts was

your mother's name

attea Roberts after all the rap sessions

we had a politics philosophy Jasmine I

could never fill you with an

investigator now I know why did I say

you're a good one

Oh Danny I know it's your father's horn

held a lot of sentimental value but

sentiment is not to have Gus go and

steal it must have been something more

something urgent maybe something like

Gimbels still being alive yeah he's

still alive but not for long he's had

three massive coroner's in the last six

months after that riverboat accident he

let everybody think he was dead his lip

was gone

you heard everybody in town so he

drifted up to northern Louisiana became

a wino got into a barroom brawl one

might kill some hey see is that why you

go up to our lettuce often Jimbo's in

the penitentiary up there how did you

know that

Molly thought you were seeing some woman

there ooh Molly I've really bright

arrows with clothes in a hospital ward

he doesn't want anyone to know he's that

Mike he's an old man and he's dying all

he talks about is that Oh home don't you

see why I had to get it fun I know I

have filled anything I said a murder it

was an accident

just didn't notice that was still there

he he panicked and he hit him he didn't

know the guy was dead until he read it

in the paper

I'm still gonna have to talk to the

police about no I'm gonna let mock me up

that looks like his old man oh my god

nobody talks to the fuzz nobody cool and

I've got my cell friends but I didn't

mean to kill a dude I don't even be

ieaving that hard you just fell against

the bar and slumped to the floor fell

against the bar

that's when I picked up the horn and the

rest of that stuff was kick took all

those think he wanted to know what he

really was asked and the dummy got his

twelve-year-old necessarily ever done to

sharp on Decatur the police figured is

set fell and hit the back his head

against the wall it's a good 20 feet

away from that bar now you level with me

Gus you sure you only hit him once

I swear in my it's just a little tab one

put

no just a moment it's dick bar thanks

hello mr. Longstreet I thought you might

like to know I've been appointed to

build a vacancy on the board well

congratulations I told mr. Clayton I

managed to buy back Joe Joe Miller's

clarinet from an anonymous fence I I

wanted to thank you how about Gimbels

horn any hope of recovering it I'm not

sure what if this any way I can help you

let me know will you Thanks thank you

I'm curious okay

about what what you going to do right

now I was thinking about asking mrs. K

to take some lunch

maybe chicken sandwiches you know what I

need

yeah I'm not sure an eggy I think Gus

trust me Gus and Danny my trust around

you're not gonna tell me can't tell me

about the past

no well not alive put all the pieces

together little delicate isn't maybe

Marty told insurance gotta ain't got a

line on that Coronet there sounds fine I

got along well enough alone

Oh mrs. Kingston I was just thinking

about some lunch what's that

lunch chicken sandwiches

Oh mr. long three I'm just waiting Hari

oh this is very busy I don't let me know

that's all right what can I do for you I

understand the clarinets been returned

yes it has been I'm glad Oh any progress

with the horn I was counting on

attracting a lot of tourists with it

we're planning a big publicity cancer of

fact that's why I came by to see you

- I think the societal had Gimbels horn - back shortly shortly mm-hmm I've no idea

Where it is now and I can practically

guarantee it'll be returned

- oh you mean you've made that connection - that was eluding you before I think so

I heard everything that happened that

night except the breaking of the glass

case I I don't understand now the case

was broken before I got there the set

was murder later that's all

so I'm meeting with the police tomorrow

morning to go over what

now you see the man who killed a set

didn't steal the horns max

come on in door's unlocked

in here

over here we went back to the Jazz

Society after the concert didn't you mr.

Clayton the only one with another key

that's why the door was unlocked when I

got there my private area stopped for a

drink I'd had a car with just said I

figured as long as he was a lot I'd

never get his job even though I was more

qualified packs watch watch

I've been a dream to put in the word for

me to the Board of Directors to fill the

vacancy he refused when I went back to

reason with him I saw that the play case

was broken into and Jimbo's horn and

some other things for missing its

settlers unconscious I decided to finish

the job and then you came in while I

figured you were no problem

what is that

said came to he got up can I hit him he

didn't care anything about New Orleans

music society was meant to honor those

men who gave the world jazz he was an

outsider he didn't go on man it's all

all and me we blowed a lot of gates

together I bet if you took all the wind

that I'd build into this thing you'd

have yourself one swinging hurricane

yeah baby we've seen it all some

leverage two palaces so nice for laughs

and some we cried mostly we kind of

moaned it's all here in this old horn

all the pain the kicks and the lonely

nights it's oh no and don't shine so

good even one of the bells sticked just

like old Jumbo's oh this old Hawk of

brass I guess it's a part of me thank

you son it wasn't us me Gus help and

Mike especially Mike Thank You mr. long

she sure would like to hear play that

once man

shape I blow up a storm that would bring

these walls down so long Jim oh so long
