  • Berliner Jazztage the Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany November 7, 1981
    Berliner Jazztage The Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany November 7, 1981 The Lounge Lizards was an eclectic musical group founded by saxophonist John Lurie and his brother, pianist Evan Lurie, in 1978. Initially known for their ironic, tongue-in- cheek take on jazz, The Lounge Lizards eventually became a showcase for John Lurie’s sophisticated compositions straddling jazz and many other genres. They were active until about 1998 with the Lurie brothers as the only constant members, though many leading New York City based musicians were members of the group. The group’s name was borrowed from American slang. A lounge lizard is typically depicted as a well-dressed man who frequents the establishments in which the rich gather with the intention of seducing a wealthy woman with his flattery and deceptive charm. - wikipedia + + + + + Thanks to unclewolfi for sharing the show at Dime.
