Description
In the tradition of Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential and Gelsey Kirkland’s Dancing on My Grave, Mozart in the Jungle delves into the lives of the musicians and conductors who inhabit the insular world of classical music. In a book that inspired the Amazon Original series starring Gael García Bernal and Malcolm McDowell, oboist Blair Tindall recounts her decades-long professional career as a classical musician—from the recitals and Broadway orchestra performances to the secret life of musicians who survive hand to mouth in the backbiting New York classical music scene, where musicians trade sexual favors for plum jobs and assignments in orchestras across the city. Tindall and her fellow journeymen musicians often play drunk, high, or hopelessly hungover, live in decrepit apartments, and perform in hazardous conditions— working-class musicians who schlep across the city between low-paying gigs, without health-care benefits or retirement plans, a stark contrast to the rarefied experiences of overpaid classical musician superstars. An incisive, no-holds-barred account, Mozart in the Jungle is the first true, behind-the-scenes look at what goes on backstage and in the Broadway pit.

This kindlebook that is Mozart In The Jungle by Blair Tindall definitely intrigued me to consider watching the tv series that this kindlebook is apparently linked to because of the way that the author relates her story in this kindlebook. I’m intuitively aware that I am very much outside the intended audience for this kindlebook, however the author’s honesty on how she senses a multiple number of professional opportunities came her way was refreshing considering it is far from common and common knowledge that is more socially accepted for a person to do the complete opposite of admitting any scandalous ways of garnering certain lucrative opportunities. The list of lovers and female friends that she knew in her life definitely add to the spice and sizzle in this kindlebook. Additionally, she acknowledges and is truthful with how she utilized the resources of her youth and physical appearance to her advantage when she was able to, though she also paints the harsh reality of where even some of the young males were far from safe of some the factors she was dealing with when she enrolled in a private music school during her teen years. She also candidly shares how old she was when she made a major career leap just as her income was starting to rise even more in her music career, this alone was therapeutic to me because she made a major career/money leap around the same age bracket that I am currently in and I myself have been on various after tax monthly income spectrums (with knowing what it has felt like to make at least 3000 dollars a month after taxes to still being aware of how lucky I am though feeling that 1400 to 2000 dollars a month after taxes is also abundant). Additionally, as a married woman with an angelic/sweet husband, I actually felt compassion for why the author confessed to why at one point in her life she was juggling two married men knowing full well that one of her married lovers was going to stay married with his wife even with being in a long distance marriage (from the way the author described one of the long distance marriages was for economic/job reasons had little to do with her-the author- being in her married lover’s life). The author’s brave account of some of the details in her life help me intuitively understand and guess why there is a tv show related to what is described in this kindlebook that is Mozart In The Jungle by Blair Tindall.
