Description
  1. 1 sound disc (ca. 12 min.) : digital; 4 3/4 in.
Summary
  1. Recorded in Oct., 1991. Jerome Robbins recalls how he first met Jesse Gerstein; the difference in their ages; meeting Gerstein's parents; and how they began living together. He speaks about Gerstein's appearance, personality, and clothing; the progress of his career; their separation and how it affected their relationship; and their travels together. Finally, Robbins speaks about Gerstein's death [from AIDS], thanks by name the people who cared for him during his illness, and expresses gratitude for having known him. (This part of the recording is ca. 10 min.) The remaining 2 min. of the disc contains more comments on Gerstein, some of which repeat those on the first part of the tape. Robbins quotes Slim Keith's comments on Gerstein and reads a brief letter about him from Rosamond Bernier.
