Best Sax Jazz


What do you think are the best saxaphone based jazz cd/albums

Try "Boss Tenors" with Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt. Sonny is on the left and Ammons on the right speaker. How sweet it is....Another smoker is Hawkins meets Webster, man if they only could perfect cloning to my way of thinking.
Have to agree that Sonny Rollins' "Saxophone Colossus" is outstanding... for something a little different check out Hamiet Bluiett's big, warm bari sax tribute to Nat King Cole called "Makin' Whoopee" by the King/Bluiett Trio (Mapleshade..check out their website..gr8 recording)
Sailor 630, there are so many and everyone has their own favorites, but for my two cents worth I like, among others:
'Crescent' w/John Coltrane
'Live at Ethell's' w/Clifford Jordan
'Just For Yor' w/Harold Ashby
But I could have named dozens more and not have been unhappy.

Good luck and good listening.

anything by ben webster; especially "at the renessance" and "coleman hawkins encounters ben webster". ben's tone is one of the most wonderful and emotive sounds in music, and is totally unique to him. he does with a sax what miles does at his peak with his trumpet. a "less is more" approach with the silence between the notes as satisfying as the notes themselves. he started as a piano player and maybe that had something to do with his style.
