This
is a three-act, four-actor play that presents Nick Corozine’s
journey and the creative process as an older, saxophone player
persists to “get it back.”
After
losing three fingers, the not to be derailed Nick physically
challenges himself and revives his passion to return to his
first love—the saxophone. He struggles to overcome adversity
as he practices in his beloved wife, Carmella’s kitchen
among the pots and pans.
What drives a man to play and breathe music?
Fueled by the power driven, rhythmic tunes of musicians before
him, and of course by the rambling cajoling of his jazz angel,
Sonny (based on legend Sonny Stitt), Nick journeys through the
songs of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.
The play-like Nick’s life is filled with music.
Written by Richard Corozine with music performed and arranged
by Vince Corozine. Directed by Matthew Corozine.
