A new novel. In his autobiography, Dizzy Gillespie wrote, "To get the best band, go to K-Y. That meant the best band was in Lexington, Kentucky, at the federal narcotics hospital." "Jazz Farm" is fiction, but based on characters at the infamous United States Narcotic Hospital (or Narco Farm). Former "residents" included Chet Baker, William Burroughs and Sonny Rollins. The CIA secretly experimented with LSD on patients there in the 1950s and early 1960s. This story is set in 1965 and is told through the eyes of a fraternity "social chairman" who is captivated by the music and the musicians and finds gigs for them climaxing with a Kentucky Derby-eve concert at the state mental hospital.

Upon his exit from prison, for being loyal and doing unspeakable things, he got busy building up his own family empire. JB, as his family calls him. Was taught the art of killing by his Italian (assassin) mentor in prison- Mr. X. Jeremy developed a keen and acute talent for murder over the time that he served.
