Name your favorite sax solo.

Here are a few more.

Sonny Rollins with Elvin Jones and others,in a Live Village Vanguard recording of "Four".

John Coltrane playing soprano sax on "My Favorite Things."

Perhaps it's been exposed too much, but Paul Desmond on "Take Five" defined a style. No alto player since has dared use those hard reeds and dry tone. To me, it's the definition of how jazz alto should sound. Of course, Pauls discography is a treasure trove of great sax.

Dave

not really all that ground breaking but boy the Sax in Baker Street by Jerry Raferdy (sp) makes a good song great.

Kaoru Abe: Mass Projection

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.
