I have a feeling that's an urban myth. I vaguely remember meeting the alleged daughter of said saxophonist - a young lady of very ill repute indeed...!

No, but he was the first person to play the part of James Bond (radio production). Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing? (John 7:51)
