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!

So many to name, but as shallow as it sounds, one always comes to mind first: Phil Woods on Steely Dan's Katy Lied, Doctor Wu.

Junior Walker's awesome solo on "Urgent" by Foreigner still gives me chills.

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.
