We’ll talk with mystery writer Bill Moody about the real-life jazz mysteries that inspire his novels, visit the cemetery in the Bronx that’s become the final resting place for an A-list of bygone jazz legends, and hear the myth and truth behind bluesman Robert Johnson’s notorious deal with the devil.
