Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

I didn't really know what to expect with this book when I picked it up, but found it to be quite enjoyable. A tale of jazz during war time told from the perspective of one character, the book takes you on a journey from the days leading up to the start of World War II. A band of jazz musicians, desperate to meet and play with Louis Armstrong, have to cross borders with forged papers and cower in closets during raids. A documentary film is released about one of those musicians, lost during the war, and our narrator takes us on this journey as he recounts the past.
