Name your favorite sax solo.


My personal favorite is Coleman Hawkins playing over Mood Indigo on Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins (Impulse). Gotta be one of the best things ever recorded. Melodic, technincal, beautiful... He was awsome even when he was just mailing it in. You can never have too much Hawk!

Paul Gonsalves “Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue” from 'Ellington At Newport' (1956).

32 bar masterpiece that helped relaunch Ellington's career. Liner notes on the back album cover tell the story...
