Name your favorite sax solo.

Cannonball Adderley on the Nancy Wilson Album of 1962--the song, "Can't Get Started". One of the best ever solos. It is stylistically similar to the Charlie Parker works of a half a decade earlier. Certainly Cannonball was, as all artists must be, influenced by his works. Beautiful...just beautiful...Haunting really.

Martykl,
It's been more than two years since you asked the question about Charlie Parker's works, and I just now noticed,. Sorry.
Because of his era, (he died, I believe in 1955/56), his recordings insofar as I know would all have to have been mono, and not the best, quality, though we could debate that I suppose. As an aside, sometimes some very old recordings have been redone, with an attempt to 'create' a stereo sound...but I can't tell you if any of Charlie's works have been fiddled with.
As another aside, I really wish that the Great Winston Ma of First Impressions Music, FIM, would throw his considerable talent into remastering some of Charlies brilliant work...wouldn't that be something?
The best way to become a devotee of Charlie, or frankly just about any musician, is to (for me) sample their work on youtube. In that regard, I've become a hopeless youtube junkie--I'll just cruise, going from one artist to another some evenings--and along the way, discovering new people to admire and purchase.
Also, to simplify Charlie...just Google Charlie Parker, Discography...you'll find much to look at--and this will allow you to find out who supporting musicians are on some works.
I own, Charlie Parker with Strings...which is an 'ok' recording, but tour de force of his talents on the Alto.
As a student of Alto, having played since about age 7...I studied his works, attempting to emulate his style...ammending slightly to eliminate the strong 'Be Bop' that was present, and shading more to Cannonball Adderley's style, but with Charlies tremendous range of imagination, with regard to his skills. He is, IMHO, unmatched in this regard, with Adderley being in a virtual dead heat. Again, Discography.
Music does things for us all that nothing else can do--I can't identify exactly what that is--but I do love it.

Good listening, Martykl

Martykl,
To finally answer the question, was there 'any Parker solo, specifically that made me think that', NO.
As is usually the case, it's the 'body of work', the style, the simple phrasing, repeated 'licks' that a player uses that become his signature (maybe her).
I just noticed, not at the time, as I was 12 when 'Can't Get Started' on the Cannonball/Wilson Album, came into my consciousness--that they share similar licks and phrasing, and since Cannonball came after Parker somewhat, one would have to conclude that he was influenced greatly by his omnipresent works. Just as, one doesn't have to be a music critic to hear Clifford Brown's influence on Chris Botti's work.
Overall, I'm more of an Adderley fan than Parker, but primarily because of the Be Bop of Charlie's era, which predated me somewhat. Cannonball was MY contemporary and I grew up with that--plus the subtlety of Cannonball's tone is overall, more to my liking.
How, given their collective, enormous tallent can we not love both?
Again...it was the overall Marty, the whole not the specific that led me to that statement, and of course, as usual, I'll say that I'm probably mistaken.

Good listening,
Larry

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
