6 A.M.
Harlem's jazz community serves as the backdrop for a musical murder probe dealing with the rights to a legendary jazz hit, "6 A.M." Whoever legitimately penned the chartbuster would be set for life, providing a classic motive. Therefore, jazz history is on the line when Henry and Jo investigate the murder of the son of jazz saxophonist Pepper Evans (guest star Frankie Faison – The Wire). Simultaneously, bittersweet memories come flooding back to Henry, Jo and Pepper as they each reflect on their father-child relationships. Meanwhile, Henry, always a big fan of classical music, and Abe, a jazz enthusiast since he was a youngster, have a keyboard face-off as Abe tries to teach Henry to appreciate a new, more emotional kind of music. Guest stars also include James McDaniel (NYPD Blue) as Al Rainey and Johnny Ramey (The Hustle) as Red Holland.
