Review of A Passage for Trumpet

Jack Klugman makes the first of four appearances on the Twilight Zone in this episode. He plays a has been trumpeter who back in the day we learn played for Tommy Dorsey for a bit. But too much carousing has left him a shadow of his former self. His playing skills have left him and one day he just walks in front of a truck.

He wakes in a world where he hears praise from the only person who can see or hear him. And that he can hit a good high note, but that's not the only thing in life of value.

Klugman and that music critic John Anderson are a good matched pair in this nicely written Twilight Zone story.
