Description

Get Me Out of Here A Memoir by Jeremy Steig is a candid and humorous account of the author's life, from his early days as a teenager to his rise as a jazz flutist in the 1960s. Steig's story is marked by a series of unexpected twists and turns, including a debilitating accident that threatened to derail his career, multiple divorces, and a disappearance from the public eye. With dry wit and a blunt style, Steig recounts his journey, including his groundbreaking debut album and his eventual comeback in the twenty-first century. Steig's life was shaped by his talented and eccentric family, including his father, cartoonist William Steig, and his aunt, anthropologist Margaret Mead. He was also influenced by the cult-like Reichian community his father was involved in. The book is illustrated with dozens of Steig's drawings, offering a unique glimpse into his life and creative process. Through his story, Steig reveals how he finally defied expectations, left behind the chaos of his past, and found peace and love in Japan. This memoir is a fascinating and entertaining read, offering a unique perspective on the life of a jazz legend.
