Name your favorite sax solo.

"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" evokes a picture of a despondent man walking down a deserted sidewalk on a deserted street in the black of night; he is looking down, moving in the dejected rhythm of the music. Handy's haunting solo completes this picture.

+1 on Joshua Redman's tour de force solo on "St. Thomas"

I can't pick an ultimate favorite,... but here is one executed with pure perfection. Album: Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley. Song: "Never Will I Marry". (the rest of the ensemble ain't bad either)

Iso,

That whole album was a masterful offering.
At 12, as a little boy, I loved it, appreciating on a purely emotional, visceral level--and today, I still love it, and appreciate it viscerally, emotionally AND intellectually.
Nancy's voice, Cannonball's incredible technique, Joe Zawinull's stylings...there's just so much to like about this album, one can pick one area, focus, move on pick another...it's as I said, a 'masterful offering'.
Also, if you haven't seen it...there's a YouTube of Nancy singing, 'Guess Who I Saw Today'...it's the one with the white top table and a martini glass, I don't have the URL right here. What a video, voice, recording...as usual, Nancy 'brings it'.

Good listening,
Larry
