Summary
Ben lives across the street from the Zig Zag Jazz Club. Enjoying the sound of the trumpet, he begins to play an imaginary horn. Some of his neighbors mock his pretend game, but the trumpeter from the club invites him to play his instrument, and Ben's aspiration comes true. This program is narrated by trumpet virtuoso Clark Terry who interprets the original score. Colors and special effects accentuate the rhythms and the power of Ben's dreams.
