Joined by regular sideman Dan Moc on upright bass/vocals, Jerry Leger has shared a live version of ‘Recluse Revisions‘. The song featured on his recent tenth studio album, Nothing Pressing, produced by Mike Timmins (Cowboy Junkies).
The video was recorded in the Roncesvalles area of downtown Toronto at the Latent Lounge, which is owned and operated by Michael Timmins. This video appears to be from a special session they recorded in October last year for a special Latent Lounge Session at which Jerry performed five acoustic versions of songs off of ‘Nothing Pressing’.
Jerry is quite the poet, as his lyrics frequently reveal. If you haven’t already done so, check out his mixture of poetry and jazz under the name The Bop Fi’s, it has a nice beat-vibe going on that’s reminiscent of Jack Kerouac’s readings of On the Road to the playing of Steve Allen’s jazz-blues piano. Jerry has also published a collection of poetry titled Just The Night Birds. Go and explore.
