Title: Tight modern saxophon tracks?
Post by: Traumatized 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 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 ;)

You might want to check out Branford Marsalis.

And everything else by the great Brandford Marsalis. And the master, Maceo Parker. Also Eric Leeds.
