Name your favorite sax solo.

My personal favorite is Coleman Hawkins playing over Mood Indigo on Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins (Impulse). Gotta be one of the best things ever recorded. Melodic, technincal, beautiful... He was awsome even when he was just mailing it in. You can never have too much Hawk!

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.

I have the vinyl edition and the sound is superb. Check eBay sometimes copies show up there. But be prepared to bid aggresively, it is highly sought after.
