5 Quarantine Questions with Jeff Rupert
- What are you listening to during the quarantine?
Everything from Frank Sinatra to Harold Mabern.
- What hobbies do you have to help keep you from going crazy during lockdown?
Well, my hobby is yachting, but that’s on hold for a bit. I’ve just been practicing, writing new music for an upcoming album, and reading a lot.
- What is your favorite recipe/go-to meal that you could share?
I just smoked ribs for the family today. I enjoy cooking quite a bit. I like cooking a rib roast, and my boys love grilled lamb, and a creamed spinach dish. I recently started making filet au poivre that the family likes.
- For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
The chance to be a credit to society.
- Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want as a dinner guest?
Billy Strayhorn, or my Dad.
