"Jazz musican are we?..............corridor C, door 14!"

So on he treks, trumpet firmly in hand. As he walks down the corridor he's struck dumb by this absolutley amazing Jazz jam going on. He follows the sound, picking up speed he final comes to the source of the 'Heavenly' sound..........door 14.
