Lisa is reunited with her idol, Bleeding Gums Murphy, but their time together is short lived when the jazz legend passes away. Heartbroken, Lisa wants to give him a proper tribute, but to do so, she needs to buy his rare album, Sax on the Beach, so she can play it on the local jazz radio station. Bart lends her enough money to buy the record and Lisa plays the record on the air. Speaking to Lisa from heaven, Bleeding Gums tells her what a great musician she is and they jam together one last time before he goes to the big jazz club in the sky.
