What is the name of Jack Klugman's character in 'A Passage for Trumpet'?

Jack Klugman’s character in “A Passage for Trumpet” is named Joey Crown. The Twilight Zone episode aired on May 20, 1960, as the 32nd episode of the series, with Rod Serling writing the teleplay and Don Medford directing.

Joey is a talented but down-and-out trumpet player in New York City. His alcoholism and unreliable reputation have cost him work, and he struggles to reclaim both his instrument and his sense of purpose. After a traffic accident, Joey believes he has entered a strange limbo where ordinary people cannot see or hear him. His encounter with another musician forces him to reconsider the value of his life and his relationship with music.

The role became one of Klugman’s most memorable Twilight Zone performances. He later appeared in three additional episodes: “A Game of Pool,” “Death Ship,” and “In Praise of Pip.” Although Klugman played a trumpet player, veteran studio musician Uan Rasey supplied the trumpet performances heard on the soundtrack.
