Lou Reed, Ornette Coleman and David Bowie: After Walking On The Wild Side 8/18/72

Read "After Walking On The Wild Side 8/18/72" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


British saxophonist Ronnie Ross had just locked down his now iconic baritone solo on Lou Reed's soon-to-be overplayed rock classic, “Walk On the Wild Side" when co-producer David Bowie snook up behind Reed and whispered excitedly “Ornette's here." Reed, intently tapping a vein and hitting the rush, replied like only a stoned kid from Queens could. “No sh**." Yeah, no sh**. And that is just the beginning of the fascinating story behind After Walking On The Wild Side 8/18/72.
