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!

Impossible, but I'd like to suggest 2; albums that is.
Very different, but similar spontaneous feel to the music making. Very unforced & musical to my ears. The underrated but dynamic & creative Bud Shank on the LA4 'Just Friends' album from Concord in 1978, also on CD, and "Mr. Melodic,Smooth & Cool" Paul Desmond, on his own album, 'Take Ten' featuring the very supportive Jim Hall on guitar, named after the tune he wrote. Hopefully still available on CD; mine is Bluebird 'Digitally Remastered'from BMG, 1993 and sounds great. Buon Appetito!
Wow Ferrari, I missed that one but will now start to look for it. How's the sound?
