Name your favorite sax solo.

I would second "Doctor Wu" and add Clarence Clemons solo from "Independence Day" on The River. Real simple, just moves me.

John Handy's solo on Mingus' "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" (the version on Mingus Ah Um)- *beautiful*.

Coltrane has a lock on the greatest (in my opinion), but if you're looking for a solo that stands out both musically and sonically, try Joe Henderson's amazing opening to "Ask Me Now" on MyCoy Tyner's "New York Reunion" CD (Chesky JD51). All alone, Joe opens the cut -- for a few minutes, it's only his sax, sometimes subtly teasing, sometimes fiercely punching.

King Curtis packed more emotion into Soul Serenade and Midnight Blue than anything I had ever heard. Made it cry, scream and moan.
