But Daved, did someone try to steal his girlfriend away by playing the saxophone right in front of him?

All I picture is that god awful scene from Robert Townsend's The Five Heartbeats where the singer is crooning to the girl in the front row and she's having the worst fake orgasm since the heyday of Angela Baron.

Well looky here.... This is so painfully bad. Well, the whole movie was painfully bad 1 minute mark:

I am sure there is more to the story, like STeVe asking him at lunch the next day why he was flirting with his girl.

My third favorite live jazz "experience" was in 1997 right before I met my wife. I had gone out on a blind date with a really cute girl named Bonnie who had dated one of the Eagles. She lived in a really cool apartment right above Tower Records on the Sunset Strip. I was over there one night and we took a walk down Sunset to see what was happening. She was beautifully dressed all in white, I looked like hell but it didn't seem to matter to her (which was good). We ended up at this little club up the street on the East side of the Strip. The jazz great TEDDY EDWARDS was playing in there with his band. I knew of him from the Contemporary LP's he did in the late 1950's and was actually excited to meet a jazz legend. With Bonnie leading the way in (it was packed in there) she charmed her way to a key table in the place and there we were! Old Teddy was on the bandstand and when he saw Bonnie he waved at us, I raised my drink and gave him a salute. He started playing and what a sound! Then, this is what happened. He left the bandstand during the middle of a slow ballad (probably something he did every night) and played walking around the room. I knew in my heart that he was headed over to Bonnie and I was right. He made right to our table, stood in front of us and continued the song, playing unamplified. Well, I had never heard a sax legend play this close to me before (the bell of his sax was only a foot away from me) and I tell you, while he stared at Bonnie (she looked like a young Sharon Stone) I stared at him. The sound of the actual instrument was just like heaven. I'd never heard a true master play without some kind of microphone on him but this was like honey butter on bread. Just the reed and the tone coming out the other end. It sounded NOTHING like the pinched, distorted, compressed Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note sax sound. It sounded dynamic, rich, emotional, vibrant and just amazing. I was emotionally shattered when the song ended and I thanked him after, gave him my card, told him who I was, etc. and if he ever needed anything, to call me. I was so grateful for that experience. I can say that his "TEDDY'S READY" OJC CD sounds a lot like he sounded playing for us (for my date, actually). Really was a great accidental night that I'll always remember. What about you? I love how Hoffy always manages to make it about himself in the end. Rarely seen a person which such bottomless need for self-validation. Oh, and Steve-o? Rudy van Gelder is a legend. Your greatest achievement in the music biz is having been a tax write-off for Marshall Blowstein.

Do you men regularly feel the need to write (at length, in impeccably-recalled detail, to perfect strangers) about all of the women you’ve dated/slept with/conquered/saved the pubic hairs of?
And if you do, how do you think your wife feels about you regularly writing (at length, in impeccably-recalled detail, to perfect strangers) about all of the women you’ve dated/slept with/conquered/saved the pubic hairs of?
STeVE’s stories are likely pure bullshit anyway, but my god, only assholes write about past relationships at the frequency (and ease) that Hoffman does.

Steve packs more namedropping in one night out than most people encounter in a lifetime.

The longer answer is "you know this story is a bunch of bullshit, right?"

I like how if he himself in the story isn’t connected to someone in “the biz” then STeVe’s date always is. In the case she dated a member of the Eagles so she good seats. If only we all could be a neat as STeVe.

Given the romantic misadventures of various Eagles members (no doubt beyond the headline stories of Leadon boning Ronald Reagan's daughter, Henley having an underage groupie OD in his home and Meisner accidentally shooting his wife and killing her after a domestic row), none of these things can be as bad as going on a date with Steve Hoffman

Her girlfriend boned an Eagle so it's almost like STeVE got to also. Neat!

JWH isn't the problem. STEVE's "memory" lapses are the result of made-up, never-happened horseshit he offers up as memories. It's a lot tougher to keep your fantasy fairy tales straight than actual events.
