It's a long story, starting with a headstrong twenty something who went to Leslie Evans for tuition in the mid sixties. Then, on the basis of a month spent in a Hamburg dormitory with a collection of people your mother would lock the front door to, went on to find fame and fortune as Britain's answer to Junior Walker, King Curtis et al.
He rose triumphant from the floor of the Jobcentre to carve out a career in various I.T. industries and on his retirement, his family bought him a saxophone. After a year's intensive practice he joined a local big band as second tenor and found out that all Leslie had taught him had vanished!
Is there anyone out there who could lend, or tell me where I could find Leslie's series of lessons on reading syncopation?
If not, is there anyone who could recommend an alternative.
I'm so stressed out by counting one and two and whatever.
Please help - it might be you, one day!
