would it be the saxophone or the piano?

The 80s ruined the saxaphone. I really hate saxaphones now.

I think that was the gateway that started the 80s sexay saxy horror. I used to like it but now it's on the horror list, possibly at ground zero.

Oh come on, Hazel O'Connor- Will You? Best Saxophonist solo ever.

I remember when The Cure released Head on a Door. Genius album. Ruined by saxophone!

I thought that sounded familiar. I've just googled 80s british cop shows and Bergerac and Shoestring both use bits from that solo with either accordion or mouth organs as a distraction. It's all neon lights outside strip clubs and black and red bedding from the Argos catalogue.

Glad I haven't ruined this thread with unrelated stuff.

Excellent solo.
Have seen Hazel perform many times - she's still performing regularly.
Claire Hirst plays the sax with her now...

I do like Morphine. Probably because the sax is not a gimmick, but the main feature. But I never listen to contemporary pop. Heavy and raw guitars is the game for me (example).

I had forgotten about Prong. Very sweet and delicate like Guinness and Jeyes Fluid. Thanks for reminding me.

I like players like Clarence Clemons and Candy Dulfer (checkout Lily was here. Together with Dave Steward)

One would forget jazz, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, just to name the most known. Also, here, the sax is not a gimmick but a real part of the music.

Lisa Simpson does it for me.

.....Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Sonny Stitt, Paul Desmond, Sonny Rollins, Art Pepper , Cannonball Adderley, Ben Webster, Michael Brecker, the late great Bob Berg, Zoot Sims, Gerry Mulligan, Dave Sanborn, Grover Washington Jr, Lester Young, Sidney Bechet and from the UK, Tubby Hayes, Andy Shepherd, Barbara Thompson, Courtney Pine and even good old Ronnie Scott ....to name a few. Raphael Ravenscroft (Baker Street ) might perhaps get a look in for some, but not me.
Otherwise, thankyou Adolphe Sax. I shall be eternally in debt to you for creating such a wonderful instrument. athumb..

Circular breathing anyone?
