Middle-aged, over-educated, overly idealistic, and at a crossroads. I don’t want to “work” anymore. I want to help people in need to continue in my calling, and also play music until I die. That’s it.
Playing through the fucked-up-ed-ness of this insane timeline.

Rather it's Joe Temperley, a Scottish transplant, great sax player, & genial host, introducing us to the NY scene, making music & telling stories.

May 11. Gerry Mulligan - "Lady Chatterley's Mother"
youtu.be/EOFRKNDaDro?...
JERU by saxophonist and bandleader Gerry Mulligan was recorded in 1962 and released on the Columbia.
Not considered “essential” listening, it’s still a great jazz record as “Mulligan is in fine form” making it perfect for light listening on a Saturday morning. #Jazz #vinyl #audiophile
Released 47 years ago today
