Transportback to the early sixties, where attitudes have become somewhat liberated andthere was a `trad jazz boom'.Although semi-autobiographical, Ask for Blues hasbeen written as a novel, spanning 1957 to 1964.It traces a young Martin'sdiscovery of and captivation by jazz at fifteen, and how sheer determinationmade him a talented multi-instrumentalist just seven years later.ThroughMartin and his friends, the book also accurately portrays what it was like tobe a young man growing up in those post-war years just before the swingingsixties. While most musical biographies read strictly chronologically,some of the events in Ask for Blues have been placed in an order thatmakes for a better story, although everything, including the encounters with well-knownmusicians, happened as described.Music is an essential part of the narrative,and is woven between memories of places and venues, pubs and drinking sessions,society norms and how Martin is expected to `behave' - though thanks to twoinfluential friends, it isn't long before he discovers the joys of totallyirresponsible behaviour. In parallel, the book chronicles Martin's developing sexualawareness as he progresses from shy late-starter to a man with a distinctlycavalier attitude towards women, a perspective that consequently putsrelationships behind his absorption with music, to his eventual cost.
