I have quite a few of his CDs, and I like this one the most. It's on Italian Felmay label. Seems to be OOP, but should be easy to find.

Yes, that's the first time I heard him, on that record (it was shared with me by a friend, one more example of why I treasure my musical friends, curiosity and generosity combined are among the finer human qualities, imo). It was a real mindfuck for me to hear a saxophone approached that way, having it do things that I never considered as possibilities. I'm taking just in terms of the instrument's mechanics, how was that even possible?!?!?!?!?!? Just another example of how what gets done is as often as not a result of what one views as what can't be done. Nobody told this guy that it couldn't be done, or if they did, he didn't concur with their assessment of saxoponicalistic physics. For that alone, hero!!!!
