ABOUT: Joey Crown, a trumpet player whose view of his self is very low relies too much on the bottle, consequently, this makes it hard for him to be hired to perform and earn his living.

REVIEW: A Passage for Trumpet belongs with the other great episodes of The Twilight Zone that I have watched. I was on the brink of calling it so-so when I thought it was going to be another outing in which another version of the afterlife will be shown. But the show's tradition of the unexpected twists and turns saved it for me. I was surprised and was pleased.

The story is very familiar, it is reminiscent of that popular movie they show during "that" time of the year in terms of how it builds up, the moral lesson it imparts, and how it concludes (which makes it a fresh entry to the series that has seen many characters meet their comeuppance/ fate harshly).

FINAL WORD: A Passage for Trumpet is one of the best episodes of this terrific show. If you are having a feeling same as mine when I was watching at start, give it a chance and watch until the end. You won't be let down. Apart from the standard great writing, the moral of the story is one to be heard and learned. Go see it!
