I only read one, based on the death of Wardell Gray in Vegas.
He's very into jazz, so the detail is good. I wouldn't say
it's too hardboiled, but the series is solid detective story
kinda stuff. I believe they are contemporarily, based.
No doubt he will be dealing with the real Chet Baker -- that
most sympathetic of all jazz characters. (heheh) Ever
see
"Let's Get Lost."? One of the great jazz pics, I believe --
even if it is a little sensational and homoerotic ...
