  8. so, is it worth the hassle? The different sessions/left-over approach does not necessarily promise to make for something coherent.
  9. are there other, more easily obtainable ones than of this type?

    Ronnie Ross

    I'll post it here as well, as it fits better than on the Bowie thread really. David Bowie in a sept 2003 Rolling Stone interview: RS: Your first instrument was the saxophone. Why the sax? DB: My brother was a huge jazz fan. He played me way-out stuff like Eric Dolphy and Coltrane. I wanted a baritone, but I got an alto sax. RS: Did you take lessons? DB: Ronnie Ross -- who was featured in Downbeat as one of the great baritone players -- lived locally, so I looked in the telephone book, and I rung him up. I said, "Hi, my name is David Jones, and I'm twelve years old, and I want to play the saxophone. Can you give me lessons?" He sounded like Keith [Richards], and he said no. But I begged until he said, "If you can get yourself over here Saturday morning, I'll have a look at you." He was so cool. Much later on, when I was producing Lou Reed, we decided we needed a sax solo on the end of "Walk on the Wild Side." So I got the agent to book Ronnie Ross. He pulled out a wonderful solo in one take. Afterward I said, "Thanks, Ron. Should I come over to your house on Saturday morning?" He said, "I don't fucking believe it! You're Ziggy Stardust?" source
  18. Still get this after all these years when listening to Roland Kirk doing Blue Roll. The rough-soft alternation he gets into just after that spine tinglingly held note... incredible, total mastery, total control, yet total emotion. I tell you, THAT is the stuff that dreams are made on!
  19. throw some German transliteration in there and you're almost done...
