Musical Brainsstorm Help Requested: Need Examples of Saxophone (Vanity)
N/A ^ | 10/3/2010 | N/A

Posted on 10/03/2010 12:53:45 PM PDT by Lou L

Greetings, fellow Freepers...my 10 year-old has recently taken up a musical instrument, the saxophone. She's interested, and although there's an obviously long road ahead, I was hoping to collect some examples of the saxophone to get her some additional exposure to the sound.

Looking for musically-inclined to assist with a brain-storming list. Obviously, I'd like to hear examples of jazz or blues, but I'd like to include rock, pop, and even orchestral genres as well. What songs or artists would you suggest as a good example of saxophone play?

Check out Candy Dulfer. She was 18 years old when she played “Lili was Here”, a duet with Dave Stewart that became a cross-over pop hit. Her website features a sax education page:

Feast upon Billy Joel’s “Until the Night” from 52nd Street. Sax drops in around 5:04; knocks your socks off.

here is the “Magic Sax” of Boots Randolph (my favorite and inspiration to play the sax myself)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQIsdKl1KWE&feature=related

additionally the theme song for the late great Benny Hill
and then you also have Kenny G.

Have fun with it. My primary was the alto sax but preferred Soprano I was able to play all four though.

Have fun and enjoy...

Jazz : the track St. Thomas by Sonny Rollins . Everyone should own KIND OD BLUE by Miles Davis which features John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly on saxes . Lester Young and The Piano Greats( Teddy Wilson , John Lewis , Oscar Peterson ; Nat King Cole ; Hank Jones ) very accessible . Man I could make you a list a mile long .
