So, listenening to some tunes and I realized that a couple of my playlists have a great saxophone solo in them. I used to play a little and I appreciate the sound. Off the top of my head : Your Latest Trick - Dire Straits, Jungleland - Springsteen, The Sad Cafe - The Eagles.
Sax solos
- Thread starter dcbogey
- Start date
Hear ya Knocking (I think thats the name of the song) - by The Stones (Sticky Fingers alblum - I think)??
Love Clarence in Jungleland. Have you heard his solo on The River on the Live in New York CD?? It's awesome!dcbogey said:
Dirty Work by Steely Dan, and Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones are the only saxophone songs that come to mind... Not a common instrument in the type of music I prefer.
in the rock/pop category ..
maybe not all solos as such, but some of the more obvious ones ...
Pink Floyd - Shine On .. , Us and Them and other earlier stuff
Sting - Englishman in New York (Wynton's brother) and others
Stones - Waiting For a Friend - ( Sonny) and others
Steely Dan - Aja (Wayne)
Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years
Audience - House on the Hill
Supertramp ... don't know their stuff well, but I'm sure they had sax solos
If ya like sax try Morphine's 'Cure for Pain' CD
folk of the past that I liked who used sax to good effect ... Beefheart, Roxy Music, King Crimson, Gong, Hawkwind and Zappa etc - there's lots, especially if you start getting into Jazz Fusion ...
and then there's Jazz ...
cool thread.
