When ever I go to London England I always try and book some lesson time with the great Stan Robinson. He's such an interesting player, understandable because he's such an interesting guy.

Last time both Ross and I booked time with Stan. I remember he said - 'listen, at any one point you you ought to have at least 4 different idea's to choose from. Avoid the 1st, go past the 2nd as well and go for the 3rd - or better yet - the 4th!'

The 1st thing that popped into my head (which I ought to have avoided) was to ask the stupid question 'what if I'm having trouble just finding one?' to which he replied 'practice more'

John if you'd just started transcribing at 39 consider yourself lucky! All that money you saved on manuscript and perfectly good lead.

You guys speak of Zoot, and I only just got my hands on a recording entitled 'Zoot plays 4 Alto's' which a b s o l u t e l y slays me.

Selmer has just started making the 'soloist' again and Chris Startup got one for alto and he sounds very beautiful on it - I think I'd like to pick one up.
