Hello Friends


Some of mine are:

"Your Latest Trick" (Live, and Studio) Dire Straits

"Us and Them" - Pink Floyd

"Go Fishing" - Roger Waters



I would love to get some recommendations on great solos and go over to my brothers house, who has a high speed connection, and download them!

Thanks!

I want to say Sam Butera played sax on alot of Louis Prima records. I can honestly say, I can't think of many bands that had as much fun swingin' it as these cats. Also check out "Last Call For Alcohol" by Julia Lee, there's a sweet little sax solo in it. It's hard to beat swing for some great horn work.

while I don't condone downloading in leiu of purchasing...

my favorite sax solo of all time is by Clarence Clemons on

"Jungeland" by Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band (Born To Run)

sends chills down my spine everytime I hear it

[Lin Park]

Check out some of the live Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band stuff - "Turn the Page" comes to mind with some good slow sax work. Others that come to mind are:

Huey Lewis and the News
Stan Getz (with Lionel Hampton is nice)
Cannonball Adderley ("Things are Getting Better" is awesome and includes Milt Jackson)
Sonny Rollins ("Blue 'n' Boogie")

Enjoy!!!!!!

"FM" Steely Dan (probably one of the best)

"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Pink Floyd

Speaking of which, I just mentioned to a friend the other day that I think Roger Waters must have loved sax solos because of the number of them in Floyd songs. The last track "Two Suns In The Sunset" from the Final Cut album that Waters did with Floyd also ended with a sax solo.

Steely Dan's FM and Deacon Blues are great tracks, both of which were done by Pete Christlieb.

Steely Dan's Doctor Wu has a great alto solo by Phil Woods

The Rolling Stones' Waiting on a Friend featured a killer Tenor solo from Sonny Rollins.

Stings cover of Little Wing has some very tasty soprano work from Branford Marsalis.

I know some others will have other suggestions, but these top the list of my saxophone work on popular music discs.

In addition to some great ones already listed, here are a few more:

Gerry Rafferty Baker Street
Candy Dulfer Lily Was Here
Glenn Fry You Belong To The City
Bob Seger Turn The Page

Second the Springsteen 'Jungleland' recommendation. Also check out Bruce's 'Drive All Night' from The River.

You might like King Curtis. Had a lot of work on old R'nR records as a session man, but also avialble solo on CD - try his Harlem Nocturne

[Patrick Larkin]

the last track on Steely Dan's Two Against Nature has got to be one of the best solos I have heard (that wasn't coltrane )

[KendallT]

The solo on the Rolling Stones "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (Sticky Fingers) is another great one.

The collected recordings of Junior Walker & the All-Stars. "Shotgun" if I have to pick just one.

Maceo Parker's work on just about everything such as James Brown's "Cold Sweat"

The insane "Blow me some 'trane" solo on James Brown's "Super Bad" by St. Clair Pinckney (I think).
