What is the true secret of the saxophone?
Well, I got some really good training by playing along with old rhythm and blues records—trying to duplicate the nuances in the solos. I can name one record, Honky Tonk, Parts 1 and 2 by Bill Dogget—Clifford Scott did the tenor sax solos, everything you need to do, and if you could master everything he did, you’d be on your way.
Did you go to high school with Phil Spector?
