The story is built around three young people of different backgrounds. Sebastian who lived in former East Germany, is a graduate student and in love with Petra, an immigrant from West Germany. She works as a typist at a stockbroker's firm and appears reluctant to enter into a closer relationship with him. Sebastian befriends Natalie, an undergraduate student who lives in an affluent neighbourhood while Sebastian lives in a room in a rooming house among his records and books. Both form a friendship with Petra. Slowly the relationship builds and a twist in the story suggests a love triangle. References to jazz, played by his friends in East Germany and from recordings by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, underline the narrative. The title of the book is taken from a quote by the late Dave Brubeck, referring to a tune played during the Newport Jazz Festival at Newport, Rhode Island, 1956.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolf Arnold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1494245906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781494245900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Wolf Arnold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458869833983,"sku":"9781494245900","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acb98609-6de0-4546-9a5e-cb0928072628.jpg?v=1777407115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tempos-mixed-tempos-changing-wolf-arnold-9781494245900","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
