| Synopsis: |
In the small hours of the morning, on a headlongcollision into history, ambition, and magic, a trumpeter wails in theapocalypse. "You are making ithappen. All the deaths. All thedestruction."Tom is a solid, but not great,musician. While his bandmates are happy to play gigs for themselves at their ownclubs, drinking free beer and shooting the breeze, Tom aches for the next level,whatever that is. And as musicians are wont to do in magical fables, he meets amysterious stranger with a seemingly simple offer: take a battered old trumpetfor free, and just enjoy it, no exchanges and no strings. Whenever Tom plays it,the extraordinary music blows away his growing throngs of fans, and deadlymishaps start to follow. Tom may not have sold his soul for the music of theheavens, but he seems to have bargained away something much more serious.From the critically acclaimed jazz musicianDave Chisholm, Instrumental is a high-spirited, suspenseful, formallyinventive, visually musical graphic novel, an epic yet intimate riff on ourlonging search for what's next.DaveChisholm is a trumpet player, songwriter, composer, bandleader, educator,and visual artist currently residing in Rochester, NY.
