Herbie Flowers who payed bass on Walk On The Wildside on the album Transformer is in our Documentary at this link ua-cam.com/video/0YvZIBsz0CM/v-deo.html
"The saxophone solo played over the fadeout of the song was performed by Ronnie Ross, who taught David Bowie to play the saxophone during Bowie's childhood" according to wikipedia. dont think bowie was ever that good on the sax.
It's worth putting up with the the dumb daytime presenters to get Herbie talking about that great bass line. I didn't know bass guitar was dubbed over string bass. Of course, bass players doing the tune in a gig ever since have played both the low and high notes in a double-stop
Low notes on the double sliding up, while high notes on the electric are sliding down. What a sound...Brilliant!!!
Indeed, i couldn't agree more.
Very beautiful to see that shy man changed the world with his baseline
R.I.P. To a Mega talented and genuine person, the legend... Herbie Flowers.
RIP Sir, Thank You...
This is a bass genious, amazing yet simple line that makes the song
R.I.P. king!
Herbie Flowers really outdid himself that day!!! 🎸🎸🎶🎶
there's nothing like taking something very simple and executing it absolutely perfectly.
Awesome bass line! I like both acoustic (double) bass and electric fretless bass guitar.
And he played bass on Jeff Waynes, War of the Worlds album. He was also the bass player in Sky.
As did Chris Spedding who is playing guitar in this clip at the end

I suspect Herbie's bricklayer was also an old jazzer.

Looks like Chris Spedding to me...good eye!
David Bowie on the saxophone, I do believe.
Ronnie Ross
Bowie’s old teacher
You either have it or you don't.

Listen to Lulu's version of "the man who sold the world" THAT's Bowie on Saxophone
Bowie was amazing on the sax...try All the Young Dudes...
