good sax solo's- refer to me some songs please
« on: January 03, 2009, 09:04:17 PM »
I'm looking for great saxophone solo's.  I already got Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen, Planet of New Orleans by Dire Straits, Turn the Page by Bob Seger, Who Can it Be Now? by Men at Work, Murder Inc. by the Boss, Money by Pink Floyd, Time Passages by Al Stewart.

I like the sax solo in "Close To Me" by the Cure. I was about to suggest Morphine, but most of their tracks are sax-heavy without having a "solo" as such.

+1 on the Springsteen but Jungleland surely has to be Clarence's greatest sax solo:

Sax solo starts at 4:00 and goes on until 6:13 - it's awesome. Apparently Springsteen arranged the parts himself and Clemons didn't get to hear the finished product until after it had all been spliced back together. It is a great piece of music though.
I think I hate being indecisive.

I love Michael Breckers playing on "Your Latest Trick" on Brothers In Arms" - the most natural and fluent plating ever.

Heard one in the car today on Essex FM - the Madness version if "It Must Be Love".  The sax in that is awesome.

I do have this song too.  I like it, but I like Planet of New Orleans better.
