Hes the only white musician in an otherwise all-black swing band at the famous Club Alabam in Los Angeles during World War II--and that isnt the only unique thing about him... And if that isnt enough to deal with in order to get a permanent gig with the band Bobby must first solve a murder that one of the band members is falsely accused of in that racially prejudiced society.
