One of mine is from a band I was never all that crazy about:

Foreigner, playing Urgent The original solo was played by Jr. Walker. It kicks butt.

Also have always loved Clarence Clemons; his solo in bandmaster Bruce Springsteen's Jungleland is sweet and haunting.

Here is a cover of it

Anyone else have any favorites?

KennyG. Grover Washington, and Donald Byrd

On John Mayall's Turning Point album from 1970 there is a great sax solo on the 12 minute cut California. John played with a lot of different people in his day. Jon Mark and Johnny Almond appear on this one. The sax work on this is awesome!

That was a *great* one.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
I saw Mayall back in '74. I think he was drunk, but I heard he got sober later on in his life. I just googled him and see he is still alive and well. Good for him.

All excellent choices.
I was hoping that someone would come up with A Love Supreme, I didn't want to seem like I was promoting my own thread.

How can we not mention 'Trane?

Good Old Blue Train

Lee Morgan on Trumpet;Curtis Fuller on Trombone; Kenny Drew on Piano; Paul Chambers on Bass, Philly Joe Jones on Drums.

Great Thread.

The tenor solo in Take The 'A' Train is classic, great tune with some good piano licks also.
