Name your favorite sax solo.

Thanks Dave, will be digging a few of those out, (probably start w/ Vandermark)... Kurt McGettrick (RIP) We Are Not Alone from Zappa's Man From Utopia is big old barrel of baritone sax goodness.

Kenny Garrett with Miles Davis in PARIS,(I think it was Paris.)

Let's not pass over Paul Desmond who penned "Take Five" and forever changed the perception of jazz for all time. As well as Gerry Mulligan and Pepper Adams on the Baritone and the very often over looked Hank Mobley, but a true giant on the sax. And the great Chicago southside tenor that was Sonny Stitt.

Tom Scott "DESIRE" every tune on this album was amazing.If you like the sax you have to check it out.

For me, Don Byrd's BLUE NOTE Lp Title, "Free Form".....credits W. Shorter as writer, of its Best tunes. This performance captures a period of Post-Bop with EACH tunes' feel. The resulting Aesthetic, owes its compelling affect, to an uncommonly powerful emotional release.....scarcely matched elsewhere in Shorter's recorded archives... On side II -- Shorter's "French Spice" The intense anguish, the single notes that soar, with a longing, of DESPERATION......some notes in this solo....to me, it's as if his reed is going to snap...emotional involvment asked of the listener, is more
than some listener's CAN give.....
