Andy Mackay

Andy Mackay is a saxophonist, oboe player, widely-respected film and television composer, and founder member of Roxy Music. Mackay was one of the architects of Roxy's daring sonic and stylistic combination of retro and futurism, but before long was also experimenting outside the group discipline. He first worked on Eno's solo album 'Here Come The Warm Jets' in 1973 and the following year, recorded his own LP 'In Search Of Eddie Riff'.

In the mid-70s, he worked on the music for television series including 'Rock Follies', 'Armchair Thriller' and 'Hazell', collaborating on the latter with seasoned blues singer Maggie Bell. He also played sax on the first pop promo made by Godley and Creme, 'Wide Boy'. In 1978, a trip with his wife Jane to China inspired a second solo album, 'Resolving Contradictions'.
