A Jazz Guide to Banff and the Universe

by Mike Lauchlan, Jerry Auld

Ravi moved to the Rocky Mountains in search of the woman of his dreams-and a beaver. For Ravi, playing jazz trumpet is a calling. He prefers to think that life has guidelines with no set rules, a musical chart that gives everyone the freedom to riff across the form. Others disagree. Deep in the labyrinth of service tunnels beneath the Banff Springs Hotel, events set in motion with the first, fire-ravaged foundations threaten to throw everyone into a hellish trap. Ravi, an unwitting participant, must stop the whole demonic orchestra or lose the only one left in the world that he loves.

Id like to give this book a 3.5 but i can't, so 3 will do. I enjoyed reading the book, having been to banff many times it was fun for me to be able to picture and feel the setting, as well as learn new facts about the town and it's history.
Having a working knowledge of the genre of Jazz including music and artists would have really helped me connect more, but by the end of the book I felt that Ravi, the main character, was as lost as I was.
All in all a fun read! Bring your imagination

Might be that I love Jazz, know Banff, and see the shadows of so many friends in the pages, all combined with my joy in most meta-universe tales, but this book was an absolutely great read for me. Of course now I want to take the book and take a very different tour of Banff. :-)
