Phil Manzanera’s introduction to Roxy Music happened over a half-century ago.
He had answered an ad that the U.K. avant-garde rock act placed in Melody Maker, reportedly seeking “the perfect guitarist,” and showed up up at the little house that band leader Bryan Ferry shared with fellow member Andy Mackay back in 1971.
Manzanera, then just 20 years old, was immediately impressed.
