I actually thought I went over to [Bowie’s then-home in] Switzerland and did only one demo, but the family sent over a copy of the recording sessions that I did and I actually demoed that entire album save for ‘Ricochet’, which was then called ‘Shame Shame (It’s Not The End Of The World)’. I did the entire album in two days in Switzerland with a bunch of jazz musicians; I wrote out the charts and they all played it. David was completely impressed and blown away. I said: ‘You think this is something? Wait until you heard my guys play it!’
