The saxophone thread

[Simon17]

Let's talk about saxophones! Saxophones are awesome.

I really like the tone a tenor sax produces.

Former president Clinton is also pretty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alv7N6Ynm1Y) good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqB7UEdhKug&feature=related).



As long as it ain't that Kenny G bullcrap. I can't stand that.

[Shibblet]

He makes me feel like I'm at the dentist.

This is kind of entertaining as well with the Trane solo.

For some reason I can't explain I simply love Saxophones.

I first noticed the saxophone way back in Simon and Garfunkels "Baby driver".
A more powerful example might be Pink Floyd "Money" from "Dark Side of the Moon".

David Sanborn and Kenny G are both good examples of good Sax players,
but Grover Washington Jr. stands out above the rest IMO.

I love the instruments themselves as much as the music.

If you own an instrument, please post pictures! Particularly of rare or unique instruments.

as a friend of mine once said, "a gentleman is a man who knows how to play the saxophone, but chooses not to."

The saxaphone is definitely an instrument I wouldn't learning, whenever that thing they call time gets around to me.

Not particularly rare or unique but none the less here are my main weapons of choice. ;)

That is the road I took; never been happier.

[NightwishFan]

I like Walter Parazaider from Chicago.

I might be totally wrong on this, but I interpreted it as someone having skills while not being a show-off.

The Tone and Tenor we talk of is serious.

Nice try though

I do it with a better Key
