Looking For Saxophone Tune

[lxskllr]

It was probably made between 1959 and 1963. It has a surf/rockabilly feel, and a really gritty sax with heavy bass. Most likely a tenor sax, but it could be a baritone played high.

It's a stretch, but listen to the first part of this song. Some of it got cut off, and the sound is feeble rather than gritty, but the tune structure of the sax is similar. It may be enough to clue someone in to what I mean.

There's probably 5 people on this board who know the tune. I hope one of them reads the thread, and can figure it out :^D

Maybe something by Boots Randolph? Selection here:

His first hot hit was "Yakety Sax" - original 1958 single here"

The tune I'm thinking of has more of a Duane Eddy feel. It may even be him. I guess I should checkout more on Youtube. I wish I could pull more of the tune from head. I've got the main riff, but the rest is blank :^/

Sigh...

Yakety sax?

Almost definitely not Boots unless he did stuff I'm totally not familiar with. The sound is very gritty. It's got that coarse 50s R&R sound, where it sounds like the mics are being overdriven.

After listening to Rebel Rouser, I have that sax stuck in my head, and I'm losing the little bit I remembered :^D

Just listen to this, and all of your sax questions will be answered!

All hail Sonny Rollins.

I have that album :^)

Check this tune out. Duke Ellington Orchestra - Sophisticated Lady featuring Harry Carney. Some sweet baritone sax, and nice circular breathing...

Wow, I remember listening to that Duane Eddy stuff when I was a kid.

Thanks for the throw back :thumbsup:

Brings back some good memories.

Dude, I have that LP somewhere. I grew up listening to Duke, Mahalia Jackson, Classical, hard Jazz, etc. No rock and roll .

On song 4 of a 116 song surf playlist. Haven't found it yet, but I'm digging the surf tunes. Love that style :^)

au contraire

From the Duane Eddy reference, check this - may be his first big hit - "Rebel Rouser", which has a big sax part behind Eddy's work.

Nice! Got to break out some of my local surf music:

Feel the pull of the moon.

The Climb?

Maybe try here for a sax artist? http://www.philbrodieband.com/muso_solos_saxophonists.htm
I'm kind of stumped, because saxes were pretty popular at the end of the 50's, early 60's.

edit: this thread might help even more: http://surfguitar101.com/forums/topic/13291/

Not close to the sound, but that chick's hot. She's about 70 years old now :^P :^D
