Photo 1 (Starting from front to back the second is ¨Pete York¨ before of Spencer Davis Group).... I will be looking
ReplyDeleteI have my doubts about Pete York... mmmm
ReplyDeleteThank you for this contribution. there is a likeness really with Pete York but on one of both photographs he seems to be saxophonist?
DeleteIn fact he played the trumpet in his early years and then the drums. But I saw this photo in any biography and I can not remember now. I will keep trying
ReplyDeleteON THE OFFICIAL SITE OF PETE YORK ONE NOT MUCH TO READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT, AND AT ANY INSTANT IT IS QUESTION OF TRUMPET OR SAXOPHONE:
DeletePETE was born in Middlesbrough, England on 15th August 1942. The Second World War was raging but he had nothing to do with it.1950 he began to play on a toy drum and his mother’s cooking pots while listening to American jazz on the radio; probably his first exposure to drum legend, Gene Krupa. Pete played drums throughout his school years and joined the Trent College Jazz Club, School Orchestra and Army Cadet Force Band. On leaving school in 1960 he had acquired some rudimentary technique on the drums and his enthusiasm was growing fast for a life in music. He went to Birmingham and soon got involved in the music scene there, playing everything from Dixieland to modern jazz.In 1962 came his first TV appearance with an award-winning new jazz group. Pete had also begun to play blues and R & B with Spencer Davis, Steve and Muff. Eventually the Spencer Davis Group would record in 1964.
