Jeremy Steig (1942-2016), the acclaimed jazz flutist, was just a teen when his life's path suddenly became clear to him. He soon jumped headlong into the jazz scene of Greenwich Village in the 1960s, where drugs flowed constantly, "free love" was encouraged, and musicians could make a living by simply passing a hat. He was also shaped by the influences of his talented and eccentric family-including his father, cartoonist William Steig (the New Yorker and Shrek!); his mother, Liza, a brilliant painter; and his aunt, anthropologist Margaret Mead-as well as the cult-like Reichian community his father was deeply involved in. Illustrated with dozens of Jeremy's drawings, Get Me Out of Here reveals the flutist's unique perspective on the events of his unusual life.
