Chicago Jazz and Then Some: as told by one of the original Chicagoans, Jess Stacy by Jean Porter Dmytryk
Jess Stacy was the kindest, sweetest, most generous man to grace this Earth. It was my lucky day when I decided to buy a house in Laurel Canyon, and my husband felt the same. After years of living in Los Angeles and working the Hollywood studios, circumstances took us all over the world and we had sold our Bel Aire home. Children gone, it was just the two of us. Lookout Mountain Ave. was the street we fell in love with, and the neighbors were a bonus! Jess and his darling wife, Patricia were our closest. Jess was a regular guest (their star) in all of the best and biggest jazz festivals. Eddie and I tagged along. What a great part of our lives!
We celebrated Jess’ 90th birthday together and we could see that he was losing strength… but he still have that twinkle in his eyes…’til the very end… and then some. Jean Porter Dmytryk
