Dr vonPuffenberg Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 For something a little different... Stay tuned past the EXCELLENT guitar solo for a nice sax outro
Erm310mce Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 Some great stuff posted so far! Tower of Power, with 4 of the best: Richard Elliot, Tom Politzer, Emilio Castillo and the Funky Doctor 3
JohnnyO Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 Dave Brubek "Take Five". It truly describes Jazz in the 60's. Nice selection Rob. Forgot about a few of those songs. John

PigFish Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Since the Pink Floyd was hit already, here is one not likely heard by most of you. You have to move to about 4:45 for the sax, but listen to the whole song. Ray writes some great original music and you might find something new here. Ray was the last vocalist for the band Genesis and writes an eclectic mix of folk to progressive rock. His brother Steve started the prog band Porcupine Tree. This mix has bit too much echo for my taste, but it is great song. Cheers! -the Pig 1
Chas.Alpha Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 Ok, as a sax player it's probably my FOH duty to chime in. I'm too computer illiterate to hunt and post, so maybe some of my BOTL/SOTH can help out. Somebody put Steely Dan's Gaucho. Basically ANYTHING Michael Brecker did. Good Bye Pork Pie Hat- Charles Mingus. Search Lester Young Who didn't groove to Average White Band's Pick Up the Pieces? John Mayall's "Progressive Blues Experiment" album- Good Time Boogie. Clifford Soloman ROCKED!!! ***** Let's not forget Tom Scott Back to the Tower of Power- Check out "Mercenary Territory" from Little Feat's live Waiting for Columbus record. He climbed 4 scales with a tenor sax. Amazing. Klaus Doldinger did some nice soprano work with his band Passport Speaking of sopranos, Kenny G doesn't even get an honorable mention from this horn player/reviewer... 1

There are some music aficionados who sniff in disdain at his pop music success, I can feel proud of his PNW roots and feel honored to mention him. Some have mentioned Lester Young, but I didn’t notice mention of Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Gene Ammons, and a few other acknowledged masters. However, at the moment, my mention is for the more approachable sounds of Julian “Cannonball” Adderly. Perhaps known better for “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”, here is a clip of the popular lounge classic that demonstrates his fluid mastery of the alto saxophone, ending with a forceful finish. 3

Too many to mention. I would still be typing from last night's post!!! 😁 And btw, no offense intended to KG. He's got way more money than I do! btw, thanks for finding this! I haven't heard it in years since vinyl and turntables became relics... 1
Capn_Jackson Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley, all their sax work on the entire Miles Davis album “Kind of Blue.” 2

I always play Kind of Blue at Christmas time, for some reason it reminds me of this time of year. So I’ll be playing it constantly beginning here in a couple weeks.

MossybackR Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 There are a few “Top 10” rock and roll songs that featured saxophone —this is from 1958 —
MossybackR Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Louis Prima on trumpet and vocals. Not sure of the name of the tenor sax —

Hollywood Ninja Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 Check out my buddy Colin Stetson on YT. Truly crazy stuff he's doing on the bass sax. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using Tapatalk

I was going to post Take Five, but I forgot Pink Panther. These two, totally. Also, if you want to hear Coltrane play straight, the album he did with Johnny Hartman: 1
