Name your favorite sax solo.

Wayne Shorter's tenor solo on Free For All- Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers (Blue Note). Blakey pushes this boy on the opening track for chorus after chorus and Shorter digs down and finds stuff I'm bettin he didn't know he had. He positively let's it loose. Huge, passionate solo amongst solos.

One of my favorite LPs is Gerry Mulligan meets Johnny Hodges. an often overlooked album. But it is one of those strokes of genius that Norman Granz had while he owned Verve. It may be available on CD now, but I have the vinyl issue. Get it some of the best sax work recorded.

John Coltrane "Someday my prince will come" with Miles Davis from the album of the same name. He uses accents to imply the melody while playing from so far inside it with such freedom that it just floors me. Truly GREAT (imho) - Jim

I second the quiet genius of Desmond-notes & sound.

Impossible, but I'd like to suggest 2; albums that is.
Very different, but similar spontaneous feel to the music making. Very unforced & musical to my ears. The underrated but dynamic & creative Bud Shank on the LA4 'Just Friends' album from Concord in 1978, also on CD, and "Mr. Melodic,Smooth & Cool" Paul Desmond, on his own album, 'Take Ten' featuring the very supportive Jim Hall on guitar, named after the tune he wrote. Hopefully still available on CD; mine is Bluebird 'Digitally Remastered'from BMG, 1993 and sounds great. Buon Appetito!
