In the second part of "Song for My Father," I transit from classical music into the jazz that he liked. He thought my tastes in jazz were certifiably antique, and what I programmed here is about as antiquated as my Dad was willing to go. So, in the classical part -- Stravinsky, Mahler and Mussorgsky, and in the jazz Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, J.J. Johnson, MJQ, Monk and Clark Terry. This photo of my Dad with his beloved tuba was taken in 1960; he was forced to give it up, but became an engineer in the aircraft and military industrial complex instead. Length: 56 mins.
