Saxophone player with John Lennon's Plastic Ono Elephants Memory BandnnBack in the early '70s, John Lennon was deep into his solo era and started jamming with this wild bunch called Elephant’s Memory. You had this killer saxophone player right in the mix—he’s not some random session guy, either. The band wasn’t exactly subtle; they brought this raw, New York energy, horns blasting, especially on tracks from Lennon’s “Some Time in New York City.” The sax just rips through songs like “Woman Is the N****r of the World,” giving the whole thing a raucous, almost chaotic vibe. This wasn’t your average polished studio band; they were gritty, political, and loud as hell. The sax player basically helped shape the wild sound Lennon wanted for that period, making the music punchier, more rebellious. Plus, the band played live with Lennon and Yoko at some infamous gigs, like the One to One concert in ’72. That sax? Unmistakable. Raw, bold, and totally in-your-face.
