The producer of the Morcheeba's first single "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day" -
Pete Norris told a story about Chris : "The song's brass parts were played by
London session men Steve Sidwell (trumpet) and Chris White (tenor and baritone
saxophone). "We use what, as far as I can tell, is the standard way of
explaining brass parts, where it's us going 'Da da da daaaa' and they go 'We
know what you mean'. We build that on the 2-inch machine as always. The brass in
the chorus was built in harmonies and bounced together. Effectively I'm taking
one saxophone and one trumpet part at a time. We continue overdubbing until we
get the fatness and texture that it needs. The ridiculously loud bit of sax at
the end we put in for a laugh. We asked Chris to do some mental saxophone as the
fade comes, so he blasted at the end. I don't think wanted us to put that in -
he was offering to do it again."
Chris White played on the brass section ( saxophone and flute) on so many Robbie Williams's concerts and tours between 1999-2003. The most famous were Knebworth- 2003 (DVD), Slane Castle-1999, Robbie Williams Show- 2003( DVD), Live in Royal Albert Hall - 2001 (DVD).
