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!

actually one of my favorite solo's is from a very interesting place. I'm a very big jazz lover and also blues, but my favorite solo is from Pink Floyd's wish you were here album. Track 1 shine on you crazy diamond. An amazing solo very intense, david gilmore does the same solo first on the guitar.

Thanks for posting the M.F. favorite. Forgot about Bruce Johnstone. Thought he was great in New York Mary, (the stuff might sound dated as hell now tho')... gotta check out that Ferguson track.

It's been almost 6 weeks, since I asked everyone to share about their "favorite Sax solo" -- after sharing one of mine. I learned alot in viewing all the responses....this site is the most fun I've ever had on the web. Cheers!
