Johnny Staccato (Cassavetes) is an ex-jazz musician/detective who would prefer to play the piano, relax on a beach, or just talk about life. At his home-away from home, Waldo's Jazz Club in Geeenwich Village, Staccato is often joined at the piano by jazz musicians the likes of a young John Williams, Shelly Manne, Barney Kessel, Red Norvo and Red Mitchell. Each week, Staccato finds himself drawn into cases where his distaste for crime, criminals and injustice is put to the test. From his base at Waldo's, Staccato often finds himself following leads to Rome, Paris and beyond to find the solutions to the puzzling cases he takes on. (official distributor synopsis)
