Saw him in Bham in 1979. He conducted the band on CBS Late show . David Letterman 13 times before his passed. A great talent and wordsmith.
Love it. The Colour and the Shape was the first album I bought with my own money.
Break out the good earbuds and settle in for eight minutes of Rickie Lee Jones from 40 years ago.

Came on my playlist this morning - what a song to start the day with! The movie was fantastic too. R.I.P. Gregory Hines.......
Right now, for me, King Curtis. Trying to learn to play alto sax.
Yep, I literally do not have enough time left on the planet to get really good, but I can honestly say I`m having a ball with this horn! Learning to read music is like learning a foreign language. Got to have the right attitude, though! Don`t take it super serious. Blow bad notes, just laugh and blow `em again!
This dropped when I was at UA. Blew my mind then, still does today, nearly 30 years later...
I bought an alto sax in the 90's but never got the hang of it. Hardest part for me was learning to get the right embouchure. I still have it and hope one day when things slow down a bit I can go at it again, along with my piano.
There was a guy in our elementary school band who blew the sax. He had a bad leg (wore a brace) - but somehow along with the sax he carried around - that made him the coolest cat in the entire school!
Yep , a proper and consistent embouchure is critical. I think I’m gripping with too much pressure because my lower jaw on the right side really hurts after a session. My wife plays flute and she told me to lighten up. I didn’t realize how critical breathing is as well!I bought an alto sax in the 90's but never got the hang of it.

God!! If I could make it to 20% of that I’d be a happy man!!
