thisnameistaken Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Didn't those Casio guitars and MIDI horns cost a small fortune back in the '80s? If they'd grabbed instruments from a school's music department it would've proved their point a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Er, I don't think it was Charlie Parker but Ornette Coleman who played a plastic sax. But that was a 'proper' plastic sax - as opposed to a toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My apologies. Charlie Parker sold his usual alto just befor a concert to buy drugs. Dizzy and some other band members scoured the neigbourhood to buy him a new new sax. The only one they could find was a Grafton plastic sax. He played the concert and Ornette Coleman followed later.

I wonder if we could get Status to try .. Now that would be a horn ... Edited May 20, 2009 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
