What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[ThomasT]

Out on the tiles isn't too easy, either, if you're tying to put it together with people who are used to even meters.

All Led Z is good. This is a great song. Thanks for reminding me.

Zomg, you're from Toronto?

Zomg, you're from Toronto?

well Mississauga... close enough :p Normally on the internet I just say toronto because people actually know where that is.

Right now however I'm in Peterborough.

 

[Kevin_Axion]

Awesome, I'm in Mississauga right now.

Here are two good songs:

Surface of the Sun- John Murphy

What an amazing piece, this is.

 

[Kevin_Axion]

Shad is actually amazing, I can't stop listening to him, the last song is especially good!

Thanks for those, Kevin. I've never heard of Shad, he's really good.

This song has been bouncing around my head for a while now...I swear I thought I posted it here but I can't find it.

A good song to play after a long day. She sings good.

While exploring Laura Gibson, I found this one.

Being an avid Pink Floyd fan, this has to be my favorite.

While exploring Laura Gibson, I found this one.

She also sings a song called "All The Pretty Horses" that has some very old roots back to the slave days. It's a lullaby the black nanny would sing to the white slave owner's children when she was wondering how her own baby was doing back in the shanty. Lots of people have sung it, but I think Odetta was the first to record it.

Kind of downer lyrics for lullaby. Definite passive-aggressive tendencies there.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
Go to sleepy you little baby,
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby,
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.
Way down yonder, down in the meadow,
There's a poor wee little lamby.
The bees and the butterflies pickin' at its eyes,
The poor wee thing cried for her mammy.
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,
Go to sleepy little baby.
When you wake, you shall have,
All the pretty little horses.

I think Stevie Nick's unique voice had a lot to do with Fleetwood Mac's pop appeal, but I always like the voice of Christine Perfect McVie.

(I also like the very early Fleetwood Mac songs turbo posted some time ago in this thread - especially Albatross.)

Paco de Lucia, best guitarist ever.

 

[gmax137]

OK, I think I figured out how you all embed the youtube links. I really like this guy Mark Erelli:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSeE8y8vzEI

The youtube clips I've seen are pretty rough and don't seem to capture his live performance - I've seen him a few times and he's really good, really connects with the audience. Plus he plays some weird guitars which is fun to hear/see. His CDs are very well done.

I like him, too - especially Volunteers. There's some other good performances from other artists on that Don Was series. Jonnel Mosser's performance was another real good one.

Most people here seem to have their grounds in more classic sounds. Sorry but I will have to break that. Here is a minimalistic mixture of electronic and post-rock. I just love music with electronic elements in. Makes the sound so spacy..

I saw this in the comments, he does look exactly like Samuel Clemens and Einstein combined.

I'm probably going to catch a lot of flak for this, but I like the Apocalyptica version better.

 

[PhysDrew]

Orion by metallica, gives me goosebumps and takes me away!

Also ( and a bit different)..but 'Requiem for a dream' by The London Ensemble...really affects me...and the movie scared me off drugs forever! The song I'll play at my funeral (bit morbid I know but truly a moving song).
Don't have link for it but you should definately check it out.
PS I don't really know how the youtube wrap thing works but here goes!

EDIT= I had a youtube epic fail :-/

 

[BobG]

Colorado Springs. A great town and a great song, both!

(Have to love the kissing camels.)

Actually, I have to admit her Oklahoma City song is better. (Ha! Where'd all the trees come from around the Cowboy Hall of Fame sign? When I visited, there were only tiny little saplings.)
