Correspondence from Grady McMurtry to Jean Sihvonen

 

[EXTRACT]

 

 

 

[24 February 1958]

 

 

What are you doing these days, Jean?

     

Maybe now you could answer a few questions for me if you have the time. Just what is Sascha [Sascha Germer] in relation to Karl [Karl Germer]? Does she play the purse strings for him to dance to? Can they work with anyone, or anybody with them?

     

I have always been a rather freewheeling type of person who worked with A.C.'s material as best I could and presumed that everyone else had the same privilege. Karl seems to think that there is one, and only one way, of working along these lines, and that he has it—but he won't say what it is.
