chris Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 There's an All About Jazz article about the Miles in Berlin cd that tells a story about "Frank Butz"-- a saxophone player who only played on the first track and then was called from the stage by the police. The whole article reads in a bizarre way: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=21078 Is there any truth to this? Does "Frank Butz" exist? Does he appear on any of the tracks? The only reference I can find through Googling to Frank Butz is in this article... if it is true-- what happened to Frank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Frankie Butz ....... he should be a household name on the German scene, if only for this incident and Playing with Albert. Never heard of him, though. But: it seems you overlooked this little ditty at the lower left of the article ..... : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) Got me sweating for a hot minute until I saw the AAJ posting date ! Personnel: Miles Davis: trumpet; Wayne Shorter: tenor saxophone; Herbie Hancock: piano; Ron Carter: bass; Tony Williams: drums, Frank Butz: alto saxophone. Has a certain ring to it..
