Part rock, part jazz, the sax/drums in the last third are just spine tingling. Wayne Shorter on sax, Steve Gadd on drums.

"Summer Romance" Incubus' first album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E


Fantastic album that everyone should own. It's completely different from what they do today, and infinitely better.
that is their second album.

Fast Fred post from 2005. RIP to the great music poster. His experiences were such a great contribution.



Clarence on the sax at about 2:30 is my contribution. Great song. Great lyrics. Great musicians.

I came here to post this. The song features a sax solo to begin and then works into a tempo change.

Pick one by Maceo Parker when he was with James Brown.

He's on "Cold Sweat," "I Got You(I Feel Good)," "I Got The Feeling," etc.

Texan Clifford Scott from San Antonio played the very influential sax solo on Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk." The well-known guitar solo is on Part 1, composer Scott blows his sax solo on Part 2. Scott played with Lionel Hampton for years and later was with Ray Charles.

http://www.landing.com/profiles/scott.htm

The moody sax on The Viscount's "Harlem Nocturne" made that classic tune a girly show dance standard.

The sax solo on Carole King's song "One Fine Day" by The Chiffons rocks hard. It sounds just like the stuff that Clarence Clemons plays for Bruce, like on "Born To Run."

"Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash deserves a mention. That saxophonist was a chick.

Many of The Coasters' songs, like "Charlie Brown," had dynamite sax solos, probably all played by the same studio guy. I'll have to look him up.

King Curtis' subtle playing on Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" is wonderful and Curtis' solo stuff like "Memphis Soul Stew" and "Soul Serenade" was very popular.

Jr. Walker was the definitive funky sax stud on his all-star stuff, like "Shotgun," "Pucker Up Buttercup" and "(I'm a) Roadrunner."

Those are some older examples of fine, seminal sax playing.

The sax solo on George Michaels' "Careless Whisper" is so good.

And Eagle member Glenn Frey's "You Belong To The City" has a sax setting the mood.



Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.

Before the world wide web, village idiots usually stayed in their own village.

Pre-internet after I lost that tape, I looked for years for that song.

I heard it at an evangical church my sister went to and I was like, this song is in Lost Boys. My thumper sister didn't believe me.

Wow, this is an old thread...

My brain tells me i should list 'Dr. Wu' by Steely Dan, but my hearts tells me 'The Working Hour' by Tears for Fears. Here's a great live version from a Spotify show a few years back:
