GeddyRulz Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) I can come back with others, but for now: Paul Desmond's work on "Take Five." Coltrane's A Love Supreme album. And there's a moment in Weather Report's "A Remark You Made" where Wayne Shorter can make me weep with just three notes.

As an aside, the studio guitarist who did a lot of the solos for Mangione was a guy named Grant Geissman. Defintely not a household name but an amazing guitarist who worked with some other giants in the industry. In the long version of "Feels so Good," he plays two solos: one which riffs on the melody and a second that is all improv. The second solo is amazing with some incredibly triplets and dual note work. Take a listen if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangy Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) I saw Michael Brecker back in the 80's. From Steely Dan to Rick James he played with some the biggest names and i bet almost everyone here own a disc that he has played on. He passed away a few years back unfortunately. just grabbed this from wiki: During his career, he was in great demand as a soloist and sideman. He performed with bands which spanned from mainstream jazz to mainstream rock. Altogether, he appeared on over 700 albums, either as a band member or a guest soloist. He put his stamp on numerous pop and rock recordings as a soloist. His featured guest solos with James Taylor and Paul Simon are excellent examples from this body of work. For example, on James Taylor's 1972 album, One Man Dog, Brecker's solo on the track "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" complements the other acoustic instruments and sparse vocal. Also, on Paul Simon's 1975 album Still Crazy After All These Years, Brecker's solo on the title track is used to a similar effect. His solos are often placed in the bridge, or appended as a coda. This musical structure and instrumentation typifies (and somewhat defines) this jazz-rock fusion style. Other notable collaborations in this genre include work with Steely Dan, Lou Reed, Donald Fagen, Dire Straits, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Aerosmith, Dan Fogelberg, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa, Bruce Springsteen, and Parliament-Funkadelic. Brecker also recorded or performed with leading jazz figures during his era, including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Chet Baker, George Benson, Quincy Jones, Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, McCoy Tyner, Pat Metheny, Elvin Jones, Claus Ogerman, and many others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Brecker Edited May 16, 2011 by tangy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 on Peter Gabriel's album Melt, there is a track called "Start" which is basically the intro to "I don't remember". It's one of the most beautiful sax solos I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
