The Heavyweight

The Musician

Jacob always wanted to be a Jazz musician, but quit music as a teen. To rekindle his dream, he tracks down jazz drummer Jacob Reed to rediscover the path not taken. But one Jacob Reed in music turns out to be just the beginning. Extra special thanks to The Baked Potato and The Blue Note for hosting us.
