The literary reputation of saxophonists.
It seems the reputation of jazz saxophonists has reached the literary world at last. One of the books I am currently reading is ‘Brother Odd’ by Dean Koontz and I quote;
“Saxophone players tend to have an attitude”, I said. “I know a saxophonist who tore a guitar out of another musician’s hands and shot the instrument five times. It was a nice Fender.”
“Why would he do a thing like that?” she asked.
“He was upset about inappropriate chord changes.”
Oh, how well he knows us!
