Name your favorite sax solo.

One of my favorite LPs is Gerry Mulligan meets Johnny Hodges. an often overlooked album. But it is one of those strokes of genius that Norman Granz had while he owned Verve. It may be available on CD now, but I have the vinyl issue. Get it some of the best sax work recorded.

John Coltrane "Someday my prince will come" with Miles Davis from the album of the same name. He uses accents to imply the melody while playing from so far inside it with such freedom that it just floors me. Truly GREAT (imho) - Jim

I second the quiet genius of Desmond-notes & sound.

Impossible, but I'd like to suggest 2; albums that is.
Very different, but similar spontaneous feel to the music making. Very unforced & musical to my ears. The underrated but dynamic & creative Bud Shank on the LA4 'Just Friends' album from Concord in 1978, also on CD, and "Mr. Melodic,Smooth & Cool" Paul Desmond, on his own album, 'Take Ten' featuring the very supportive Jim Hall on guitar, named after the tune he wrote. Hopefully still available on CD; mine is Bluebird 'Digitally Remastered'from BMG, 1993 and sounds great. Buon Appetito!

Also the Mosaic 6 LP release or the 4 CD compliation of Paul Desmond and Jim Hall. Out of production now, but well worth the search to acquire. Somewhat pricey now, may want to check your local library to see if they have it. This edition was limited to 7500 copies for world wide distribuion and it sold out within 6 days. A great find,don't miss it.
