Tight modern saxophon tracks?
« on: October 26, 2005, 10:04:17 AM »
I have to make a compilation with modern (especially, but not only rap tracks) songs, in which a saxophon plays an important role. Coud you help me out? Quik's Groove 6 comes to mind first, but then... ?

Kenny G ft Earth Wind and Fire - I like the way you move (outkast cover)

Kenny G is the biggest mainsteam player but his shit is pretty watered down.  good player though.  other REAL good sax players to look out for are David Sanborn, Kenny Garret, Grover Washington Jr, Boney James.  you can look up any of these cats albums and pick any song and it will be blazing.  all Jazz by the way. 

Tower of Power has a mean horn section.  they are a straight up funk band from the 70's.  look them up too.    uh that should keep you busy ;)

Define "modern".

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Of course I also appreciate tracks from the 70s, but they shouldn't sound like p.e. that Blues Brothers stuff.

There's a track on De La Soul's Bahloone's Mindstate called Maceo's groove or something like that which features a saxophone solo.

You might want to check out Branford Marsalis.
