Are There Any Other Saxophone Lovers in Here?

[Sp8ctre]

I have always LOVED Saxophone music and even ventured to learn it at one time. I got really good at making the notes sound sweet, but this was pre-internet so I never got to the song playing stage...

My dad was a Jazz fan when I was a punk kid and thought it sucked...

...a few pop/rock songs thrown in as well.

George Michael - Careless Whisper (Official Video)

 

[Cadorman]

Foreigner effed up with that stuff. They needed more guitar.

Quarter Flash got it done.

Gerry Rafferty just kicks ass.

Candy Dulfer? No clue, but yeah, I'd hit that.

The rest. No. Where's Kenny G?

I am a jazz fan, and used to be a jazz enthusiast, so most certainly. In rock, Chicago did it well

Honestly, when it comes to saxophone in rock 'n' roll, I think it is quite often used in the wrong way. I often find saxophone solos very slick.

However, when it is done right, it is awesome. One of my favourite tunes ever has a great sax solo. I would like this song to be played in my funeral.

 

[Chubbles]

I love sax solos almost as much as guitar solos. I'm not sure why. It might be that sax is such an expressive instrument.

When I was a kid I REALLY loved the sax, listening to as I never played one. A sax is one of the few instruments that I enjoy hearing play a solo other than guitar.

Dulfer is one bad sax player...

Cadorman suggested -- here ya go man.

 

[CabanaBoy]

I'm a fan of brass in general (brass bands), along with strings (classical), and a big fan of big band...

 

[Trident]

That Dulfer is something special...Saw her some years back and Wow...what a show.....

I like listening to saxophone but can't play one. Had a go once (for about 1/2 second) but just couldn't handle the reed vibrating against my lip, freaked me out. Cheers

I like what Zappa said about saxophones, and that if you want sleeze you need a sax. However, most sax players (especially Kenny G.) are annoying as hell. The solo in the Rocky Horror was good in that it was mixed well. I think that I like baritone and tenor sax better. Alto and soprano sax are just plain evil. Maybe they are pitched too high for my enjoyment.

Agree on Kenny G and exactly why I didn't post any of his stuff...

How about David Gilmour on Sax....

 

[Trident]

Pretty Sweet!

I've also seen videos of him playing drums...he is my favorite musician of all time!
