@queekers I made a typo the first time with regards to playing and having. My argument is still valid in that Phil NEVER owned or currently has any of Bird's horns as you had assumed in your very first statement. Chan Richardson owned two of Bird's horns. She donated the Grafton and kept the King even after she and Phil divorced till her death.
@KlassyKamikaze lol backtrack much? You went from "He NEVER had Charlie Parker's horn" to "he did play on Bird's King once". I believe that when he did play on that horn that he had a Charlie Parker horn, thus making your argument invalid.
@queekers He does NOT own any of Bird's horns. In any Q and A session you go to for Phil Woods, he'll start it with "Meyer NY 5 with Vandoren V16 size 3 reeds and no I do not own Bird's horn."
Yes, he did play on Bird's King once (out of desperation) when he was married to Chan, but that was it. The Grafton was donated to a museum and the King was later sold at some auction.
@KlassyKamikaze Yes he did....wtf? One time he brought a Bird saxophone with him to practice with Charles Mingus and as soon as Mingus saw that he brought it he was really pissed off that he would do such a thing...
@queekers He NEVER had Charlie Parker's horn. Yes Phil was married to Chan (Charlie's last wife) for a while, but he never played it. Chan had donated it to a museum.
What a gorgeous version!
