ostatnio ponownie przeczytałem jak to Trane dostał na pożegnanie od Milesa
saksofon sopranowy i jak póżniej zabijał wszystkich tym swoim groźnym chłamem.
Wszystko byłoby ok, gdybym ostatnio nie przeczytał niesamowitego wywiadu z
Prince Lashą. Można tam znależc następujący fragment:
PL: Do you know how John found out about playing the soprano?
AAJ: I’ve heard a few different stories.
PL: What did you hear?
AAJ: I heard Steve Lacy was instrumental in that, and that Tony Scott might
have come in somewhere too.
PL: May I tell you the real story? Well, there was a time that we used to
travel by car and we’d dine late at night. We’d get back in the car and
travel another two or three hours to the next destination, and this was
happening with John and they went to eat, and the alto man left his alto and
soprano in the car. They found out about two hours later that he wasn’t in
the car, and he’d asked John to take care of his horns. John started playing
the soprano, and that’s how he found out about it. Those are the actual
facts. The alto man left his horns—and this has happened to me sometimes,
you’ve got the station wagon and you stop and eat late at night, and you
don’t notice that somebody is not there. John just took to that sound, and he
got [a soprano] for himself. I thought you should know about that because
it’s a musical fact.
To stawia pod znakiem zapytania prawdziwość innych historii przytaczanych
przez Milesa.
