Guy Berger Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 On the free jazz section of Weather Report's "Unknown Soldier" (from I Sing the Body Electric), there's a second nasal-sounding reed improvising underneath Wayne's (smoking) tenor saxophone improvisation. Is this Andrew White's English horn, or Wayne overdubbing (underdubbing) his soprano? Guy Quote
Guest akanalog Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 i heard some live stuff from white from about 1975 and i was impressed. how come he was such a fringe guy? seems like an interesting fella-played english horn on body electric and then took over for vitous on bass when the group wanted to get funkier, right? the live stuff i heard i think he was just playing alto at the village gate with some other dudes i never heard of but it was good. did he just get real into the scholarly stuff and not the performing and recording aspect of music?

jazzbo Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) All I remember are those endless transcriptions of Trane soli (or is that someone else?0. . .and him feeling that he was ripped off by Weather Report, that he should have gotten lots of glory out of his time with them.
