Tyler, enjoyed this installment, but think I will have to wait until I’m alone to sample this music! Here might be an idea you could explore…the journey of expats playing in Europe so they could make a living and escape racial tensions in the US. Folks like Dexter Gordon (my favorite sax player). Just a thought.
Thanks, Steve. That's a good idea. Maybe start with the movie Round Midnight, which came out in 1986, when I was stationed in Germany. I think I saw that in London. for the first time. It was based on the stories of Lester Young (my favorite sax player) and Bud Powell.

Sounds good to me…I really enjoy that movie and the music is wonderful.
