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!

Dunno if you can consider it a solo since it is part of the main melody line, but I can never get Raphael Ravenscroft's sax line in Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street out of my head.
Michael Brecker's solo on Michael Frank's "Doctor Sax"
Danlib 1: Good call on Phil Woods!
Wayne Shorter's solo on the Dan's "AJA" title cut.
I can't name just one. There are dozens. Depends on what mood I'm in. But here's a few:

Sonny Rollins - Blue 7, St. Thomas
Ben Webster - That's All, Tenderly
Charlie Parker - Embraceable You, Now's the Time
Coleman Hawkins - Body and Soul
Stan Getz - Desafinado
Paul Desmond - Concierto de Aranjuez
Cannonball Adderley - Waltz for Debbie
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Coleman Hawkins - Body and Soul
Dick Parry on Us and Them - Pink Floyd DSOM
The best I have heard is Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane play So What on Miles Davis-Kind of Blue.(breath- taking)
