26 Sax and Violins in Modern Music

A first for the podcast - Our old school mate Ralph provides live music in the studio! And spills the wine!

Rob and Rod failed miserably at recognising the songs. I think we were distracted by the excellent red.

The wine details: Peccavi Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Margaret River Off-cuts supplied for the dedicated listener.

Spooky

There is no definitive evidence that identifies the saxophonist who played on Dusty Springfield’s 1970 version of “Spooky.” Unlike the Classics IV version, where Mike Shapiro (aka Mike Sharpe) is often credited with the sax solo, Springfield’s recording lacks specific documentation about the session musicians involved. The arrangement features aprominent saxophone, but no reliable source names the player. It’s possible that a studio musician from the London or New York recording sessions (where Springfield worked during that period) was hired, but without further archivaldetails, the identity remains unknown.

Michael Brecker played saxophone on the Dire Straits song"Your Latest Trick" from their 1985 album Brothers in Arms. He is credited with both the saxophone intro and solo in the studio recording.
