I’m working from home today and someone has been playing the most beautiful jazz music for the past hour. I have no idea where it’s coming from. It’s nothing but saxophones, and it’s modern but has hints of jaunty 1940s supper club music but with some atonal moments. It’s like 1940s jazz music taken apart and rearranged. I feel like I’m listening to the ghosts of doomed lovers in 1940s Los Angeles.
I’ve walked up and down the halls of my building but it seems to be coming from the building behind us. I want to find out what it is. Shazam is of no use. This is killing me.

You know what — I actually thought of that earlier, but by the time I did, the music had stopped.
