"Bus is a small time street hustler who is busted on a narcotics charge and accused of being an even bigger criminal than he really is. At his trial, he receives massive support from the people of his marginal community, who respect the integrity and person of the man they call Honky Tonky Bud. The story, told in song and dance by a large ensemble, is a jazz/rap composition featuring an original score by Ed Wilkerson Jr., performed by his 17 piece band Shadow Vignettes." - Floyd Webb
