      It’s a sad trombone. Imzadi is irrelevant but funny in the context of the trombone player. Its also a 30 year old inside joke so explaining it will wilt any humor.

      Will Riker has a recurring bit where he plays the trombone throughout Next Generation. Very often, they are staged as intimate moments where he is practicing and Deanna Troi comes into his cabin. “Imzadi” is a made up word from the series that means something like “beloved” in Betazoid and they periodically call each other that throughout the series, starting from episode 1.
