This month’s podcasts will be in two parts and feature legendary woodwind musician, George Young. Part one will focus on the early days. Both musicians and non-musicians will be inspired by George’s focus and discipline in developing his musical gift.
When first I started working with my husband, Alfred, over 40 years ago, he told me tales of his years with George Young. They had met in Wildwood, NJ, during a time when live music was plentiful and clubs were packed. They worked together for a few years as the George Young Review, which played show houses in many major metropolitan cities and also performed on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Then George went on to take his place among jazz’s most respected “session musicians” whose work in recording studios for record companies, films, television productions and commercials has kept him pretty much flying under the radar However, he has also performed and toured internationally with countless bands and is a wonderful composer.
After gigs, Alfred and I used to drive into NYC to see him perform at Mikel’s or jazz brunches on Sundays and when we recorded our two CDs, George played on several tunes.
This podcast will be in two parts, the first focusing on his early days. The second part will air two weeks later.
George says “Keep Moving!” and he sure does!
