| Huge thanks to Chuck for posting the picc. sorry that its not a pristine shot of the horn - you have to put up with my ugly mug too!
The fixed expression on my face is one of intense concentrationn as that shot aws taken during a session I played a couple of years ago, recording the sound track to a Mr Benn cartoon. Don't know if you see Mr Benn outside the uk but that was a special session for me. I grew up watching the show and the original 13 episodes featured Kenny Wheeler on the beautiful innocently jazzy sound track - composed by Duncan Lamont, the Scottish saxophonist and song writer. This was the first new episode made in 30 years - for the anniversary DVD and being asked to play on it was a dream come true for me.
The picc was needed to play a whole bunch of fanfares for the scenes in the gladiators arena. I think you can see now what I meant by 'long model'.
All the best. Noel.
