I love sax (definitely setting someone up there) in all music, especially jazz and big band of course, and have a particular affection for those glorious little riffs or longer solos in pop songs. Jazzman being one fave example, and Floyd's Money or Tina's We Don't Need Another Hero. But then you already know this.😁

That's a great one but lacks any mention of heavy handed Hackensack mama's. 🤭

My brother was in marching band, parents were on the board.

A great horn section is everything...KC & The Sunshine Band?  Phil Collins used the Earth, Wind & Fire crew.

If one wants to be a great soloist then listen to as many old horn solos as possible. 😉

I was just after a backup spot.  Them 3 badasses wearing band uniforms in the Police's Synchronicity video (taped here at the Omni when it still existed) were the best inspiration ever.  (For the record, I was in HS when that album came out...I was in concert choir touring the British Isles, we played it on the "coach" constantly.)  So when I saw the video just a few days before going in the Navy, I was reaching out and receiving recommendation letters for the Sea Chanters (USN Choir), which unfortunately required a BA to even audition.

My go to era for great horn solos will always be the 1950s. Probably cuz my dad's such a big 50s fan and I grew up in the 80s when it all had a big resurgence. Flux capacitors and whatnot. 

 

 

 

Also Little Richard had two of the best sax players in the business.

We kept Steely Dan's Aja in the boat player.

Nothing better out wandering around.
