Mark Masters Ensemble: Our Métier. Capri Records 74150-2. [US 2018] Cover painting by Richard Gerstl 'Porträt der Familie Schönberg/Portrait of the Schoenberg family, 1907! https://www.mumok.at/onlinesammlung/detail/portraet-der-familie-schoenberg-2763 Inspired by jazzbo's yesterday's post, I'm reproducing this cover here again. The painting on the cover is incomplete; the person on the left has been cut off—due to the layout or intentionally? The original depicts Arnold Schoenberg with his wife Mathilde and two children, painted by Richard Gerstl in 1907! Mathilde Schoenberg and Richard Gerstl fell in love, Arnold Schoenberg found it out, but his wife returned to him. Richard Gerstl subsequently died by suicide in 1908. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Gerstl

Gerhard, my deepest condolences. It's a very sad time after this ... My wife died of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) eight years ago. I had chosen Vijay Iyer's piano version of Billy Strayhorn's "Blood Count" for the memorial service.
