What begins as one woman's search for her own artistic courage unravels into a stunning look into what jazz music can teach us about our search for the truest versions of ourselves. For decades, seasoned players on the scene have spoken in whispered tones about The Blue: a mysterious meeting place for jazz history - a place where ghosts from this music's storied past spring to life for those courageous enough to enter. When Jessie Choi's mentor Jimmy Hightower collapses at a gig and loses consciousness, she finds herself reluctantly pulled back into the jazz scene she abandoned years earlier. In investigating the music and mystery behind Jimmy's comatose state, every thread leads to the same question: is Jimmy somehow trapped in this enigma known as The Blue? In her search to save her teacher, Jessie rubs shoulders with legends, uncovers the secret history of Blue Note Records, and faces her own deepest fears. From musician/cartoonist Dave Chisholm, Eisner Award nominated author of acclaimed graphic novel Chasin’ the Bird, Enter the Blue will captivate and inspire musicians and non-musicians of all ages.

Is about me is when I’m full of silence, and no one else around me or is near me. My voice lack up and kept inside of me. All I want to hear was no one I settle in my secret place and thing of a secret dreams contented and alone inside of me, and I said no to other thoughts except the thoughts of my family. And I sometimes thought that the thoughts that are my own are wrong. When I am full of silence I do not care to play or to run and jumped and fuss about, the way I do all day and then the pictures of my family painted in my mind are all I wanted to see or need to see all day.

The Earth itself is a remarkable place. It flows with life in every direction, and no one appreciates the joys of life more than Dionisio Sedano - a teenage orphan whose greatest passions include his love of learning, his desire to experience every adventure the world has to offer, and the never-ending joys found in the Land of Eternal Spring. But the natural balance of the world is in peril. The beings responsible for the wellness of our planet were forced to follow the selfish desires of a single, powerful leader, who is willing to once again destroy it all in order to restore that which was taken from nature. What stands between success and failure is a resplendent bird, who may be the Earth's final stand in the greatest ever clash between the Alpha and the Omega.
