When I talked to him about 16 years ago ago , he was so nice to talk to and encouraging me to reboot my playing again. I’m two months younger than him and I followed his career since the 60’s. Wish I could talk to him again. What a virtuoso and a gentleman.
Great saxophonist, by far one of the best technicians especially in the high harmonics. He was a forerunner in the altissimo range. I had the opportunity to talk to him on the phone and that conversation re- stimulated my practice sessions and playing on gigs. What a gentleman, and I only wish I could talk to him again. He is actually two months older than me. Pick up his earlier albums (if you can get them) and you'll see he was a breakthrough in his teens and early twenties. George if you read this, thanks for your encouragement. Maybe we could chat again. Nick
