Stevie Ray Vaughan : Jerry Wexler helped get us on that show, which started a whole chain of events. That’s where David Bowie heard us. Then, around November or so, he called while we were doing our album and asked me to play on his record.
It’s not just a jazz show any more – they have a blues night and a country night – Bow Wow Wow played there, Laurie Anderson too.
Jackson Browne saw us at Montreux. We jammed and everything for about eight hours at this club. We took one break for about twenty minutes. We were having fun, needless to say. After the night was over, he offered us his studio for free … the use of his equipment, his engineers, his, y’know, everything. And not long afterwards we took him up on it. We were supposed to pay for the tape and he ended up giving us the tape too. But he’s incredible. All he wanted was to see us do what we wanted to do.
