No Sax Please, We're British

New title courtesy of Mark!!

 

Another totally unexpected 'discovery'. Born in Dinant, Belgium, where this photo was taken, Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone which he patented in 1846. Bought for £5 in a junk shop some 50 years ago, a saxophone is the only instrument I have ever owned. Frankly, cats howling made a more tuneful sound than I could manage and my enthusiasm quickly faded.

 

However, this is a perfect opportunity to add a 1954 tune to the jukebox by my favourite sax player of all time.

Coleman Hawkins "Time on my Hands"

 

The sound of NYC, after dark, plumes of steam rising from the city streets in a black and white film..........
