Who Is/Was Lew Futterman?

[JSngry]

I know his name from the Jack McDuff Prestige sides, but then I seen on AMG where he has a history w/Ted Nugent going back to the Amboy (not Joe, but Amboy) Dukes, so wtf? There's also some other "interesting" associations to be found. Check it out!This is a story I gotta hear!

As always, thanks in advance!

Up?

For the McDuff fans?

[mandrill]

Any relation to Joel Futterman?

Recently checked out Roger Kellaway's Prestige side & noticed that it was produced by Mr. Futterman...Jack McDuff, Roger Kellaway, and Ted Nugent?

LEW FUTTERMAN: Also a co-founder of Uptown Partners, Lew focuses on strategic planning and acquisition, as well as overseeing Uptown´s day-to-day operations, including construction and sales/ marketing. A graduate of Cornell University, he owned and operated several successful entertainment industry companies from late 1960's until early 1980's, but gradually shifted to real estate development. He was one of the earliest to foresee the West Side housing boom that commenced in the late 1970's. Among his successful and pioneering projects were the first legal living/loft coop in the Garment Center, the first large luxury coop development on West 42nd Street, and the first large luxury coop development on Broadway north of 72nd Street. In total, he completed new construction or major renovation of over 40 buildings in Manhattan between 1977 and 1991. Involved in other businesses during most of 1990's, he re-entered the real estate development business in 1999.

Most recently, he supervised the completion of a luxury condominium apartment building at West 44 West 106th Street, for which he handled the general contractor and day-to-day co-developer roles.

That "luxury condominium apartment building" is probably the one that's a block up the street from me. It was built in 1885 by the Astors as a cancer hospital, the genesis of Sloane-Kettering. They were going to tear it down, but we protested and they finally agreed to restore it and build a high-rise apartment house where the crematorium was. For several years, the original building, patterned after a French Chateau, stood empty, but often serves as a set for the Law & Order series. BTW, West 106th Street from Central Park West to Riverside Drive is Duke Ellington Boulevard.

When I took these photos, they were offering an apartment for eight million, seven hundred thousand, and change.

I suspect that Manhattan real estate has proven to be more profitable than Jack McDuff...or Ted Niugent, for that matter.

Is that Lew Futterman with the helmet?

[JSngry]

That's said to be Lew's wife Starla Caldwell, perhaps seen to more attractive advantage here: http://www.robertaonthearts.com/specialEvents/idSE04.html

Lew would, I'm supposing, be the guy in the aviator glasses.

[Chuck Nessa]

Does not look like the same woman to me.

[JSngry]

Nor to me, but so say the captions...

[GA Russell]

The liner notes of the If album I got yesterday for my birthday (Europe '72) say that Futterman was If's manager, and that the name of the band was his idea.
