As you've suggested, the Leo Green sax adds something very special and distinctive; part of me certainly regrets not having seen one of those shows, though I'm not sure I'd have appreciated it indefinitely on a permanent basis. Much as I like many of the records JLL made, notably in the early 60s, featuring sax, there's another part of me that regards it as somewhat 'alien' to JLL, and it never works as well, in my opinion, on 'country' material. I don't miss not having seen JLL perform on one of those 'tiddly' pianos though; I much prefer the imagery associated with a 'grand'.
I'm not sure I'd like it all the time either, but it certainly brought a very different feel to many of the songs. I recall reading a review of a show in Belfast in 1993 where the reviewer stated something along the lines that 'There Must Be More To Love Than This' sounded like an early 60s Sun outtake!
When was this recorded? Whas the song supposed to be included in a record?
