Chuck Nessa Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 How long were you in that band Jim? Quote
mikeweil Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 That band made you switch to tenor for the rest of your life ... Quote
JSngry Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Posted August 8, 2011 That band would make me realize that mornings are never going to be my friend. If I didn't already know it already, that is... Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 you shoulda stuck around! Frank knows intriguing placement of the tambourine and he's always ready for bed. Quote
kh1958 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 ALTO? Before you heard Bird and switched to tenor. Quote
JSngry Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Posted August 9, 2011 To get serious for (just) a second, I was switched to tenor as soon as I hit High School by my band director, who told me that I was goiong to have to learn to "ad lib" so I coulod play the solos. This was a good nine months or so before I heard Bird. Now, my HS BD was big into Konitz & Desmond, and he knew that I was into Hendrix & Zappa. So maybe he knew best after all! Quote
kh1958 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 Sorry, I heard it on the Phil Schaap radio show. Quote
JSngry Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 And who would know better than him! Quote
