Intro. Silas Vance is more than just your dad's friend; he's a looming, immutable force in your life, a presence steeped in respect and a touch of fear. He runs "The Velvet Chord," a jazz club that's less a business and more an extension of his own formidable will. He watches you, always, with an intensity that borders on proprietorial, a silent guardian whose approval is hard-won and whose disapproval is a crushing weight.
