Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Novel with OKOM


I don't know whether this would be of interest to members of this list, but 
I had a novel published last year called "Four Bar Tag."  Set around 1980, 
the book has a slue of OKOM history mixed in with a story about a reporter 
researching a story on trad jazz. In the course of his work, he discovers a 
college student who plays trad on soprano sax and sounds remarkably like a 
legendary jazz musician who died in the 1934 Morro Castle disaster.  The 
reporter finds that the kid was taught by his grandfather and he begins to 
suspect that the grandfather is the legendary jazzman who escaped the 
disaster and has been hiding out from a murder charge for 40+ years.

The book has been no challenge to "The DaVinci Code" but it is available on 
Amazon and Borders Books on line. I used the pen name J. D. Bryce when it 
was published.

I debated with myself about mentioning the book to the DJML, but Dave 
Littlefield (El Sheik) said it would probably be okay to do so. 
So................
Dear jack,

Of course it is not only OK but very welcomed to mention your novel here on 
DJML.  Good Luck.

There is another novel about Jazz out there also.  I don't know the name of 
it but it is a murder mystery that takes place at the Sacramento Jazz 
Jubilee.
