Enjoy swinging tunes from the 1930s
through the 1960s with a trio lead by San Marino resident Earle Jager. The Memory Laners will evoke pop tunes from
the past and send listeners into a state of nostalgic reverie on Sunday,
February 11 at 2:00 p.m. in the Library’s Barth Community Room.
The Memory Laners were
originally founded by a lady drummer who played the trumpet at the same time. Jager joined the group in the 1990’s. For years, they had a steady gig at the
Langley Senior Citizen Center in Monterey Park. Today, they often play at the San Dimas Senior
Citizens Center.
Jager plays four varieties of
saxophone: soprano, alto, tenor and baritone. His trio partners include Fred
Dean on keyboard and Andy Papp on drums. The Memory Laners play tunes that are
“influenced by what they have experienced all their lives,” Jager reports. Jager has lived with his wife in San Marino
for fifteen years, which he calls the “second chapter” of his life. Before
that, he taught children of military families in Germany and the Netherlands.
Then he taught English at East Los Angeles College. He has always been interested in music,
playing with large bands as what he calls an “interesting sideline.” “Never quit your day job,” he advises.
Enjoy a relaxing and
entertaining Sunday afternoon at Crowell Library and listen to some of the best
music ever written.
