The handsome chef with a shady past…the well–loved owner with a heart–wrenching secret…the mysterious out–of–towner in the corner booth…the stately, silver–haired women adorned in Tahitian black pearls at table four—these are just a few of the many characters who inspire the stories of Philadelphia’s Indigo Lounge, a fictitious jazz supper club I created after my first visit (as a “grown” person) to this cultural mecca of Brotherly Love. The Scenes From The Indigo Lounge series is my personal celebration of a city I adore, and a curtsy to the people who move me to visit again and again.

On this particular night, the owner of this popular jazz club meets the one person from her past she wasn't sure she'd ever see again in her lifetime./span> | |  | | You're Too Much, Reggie Brown
