      a
     
     
      mix
      of
      jazz
      and

      that

      The

      opens
      in

      1960

      a

      would
      rather
      be

      with
      his
      friends,

      is

      take
     
     
      trumpet
      lessons
      from
      his
      mother.
      A
      sudden
     
     
      flash
      forward
      brings
      it
