Trivia:
Conceived as two separate episodes entitled "Chicago, April 1920" and "Chicago, May 1920", Director Carl Schultz had already filmed interconnected bookends featuring George Hall as Old Indy, lecturing his grandson Spike and the members of Spike's band. This footage was deleted in favor of the new bookend starring Harrison Ford in an attempt to boost ratings and re-launch the series.

Quotes:
Sidney Bichet:
It's like in-between sounds: the shadin', the wantin'. It's the why's the world have to be this way sounds; the dissolusionment. The difference between jazz and the blues is a state of mind.

A good 90 minute show, heavy on the the blues and jazz in the first half but the actors miming the instrumentals come off as too fake. Good music and vocals though. The Indy character takes a bit of a subdued role here, after all his adventures overseas - army, POW, secret service, vampires, etc. during the war he must have wanted to go back to the simple life of being a college kid with a part-time job. In this respect the continuity of the character suffers a bit. Many "real" characters written in the story - the various musicians, Indy's roommate, his friend Hemingway, the bartender with the "scarface" and others. A big action sequence near the end with Model T's (or were they A's?, they could've run faster)...and no real ending, but a glimpse of 1920's Chicago city politics/justice.
