Love songs with saxaphones in them?

Do I detect a hint of John Tesh in the air?
*sniffs*

Sax by Fire, Sax on the Beach...Sax on the whatever. Go get an older John Tesh album (not Live At Red Rocks, Avalon or One World). It will be all sax-driven love songs.

People who don't know jack about saxophones also think of Kenny G, but he sucks. Stay away.
 
i hate the sax.
it is the WORST instrument.

aggggggggggh my husband (david bowie) has it wayyyyyyyyyy too much in his music.

i want the sax to die.

die.die.die.

*kat. <-- full of anger this morning.
<-- not really david bowie's wife, its just a crazy dream.
 
Just leave that Kenny G crap somewhere else

Currently...anything by Wynton or Brandon Marsalis

Old school, got to go with John Coltrane on that..
 
As long as its not Kenny G, I'm fine with it. The worst thing about Kenny G is that people think that he is a JAZZ musician! Kenny G is not JAZZ! Please dont insult all the jazz artists out there by mentioning Kenny G and jazz in the same breath.

Kenny G is NOTHING! The only good thing he's done is perfected rotary breathing, which is a good accomplishment, but it's not like no one else can do it. He holds the world's record for playing the longest sustained note, but anyone else who can rotary breathe could do that, too. But why would you want to? Unless you're working on a bizarre avant garde comp that calls for the world's longest note, you're just being a show-off, and if that's all you got to show off.....

Go ask Google what Pat Metheny thinks of Kenny G and you'll get a good laugh. Pat Metheny later retracted his statements and pulled it down because it was a rant, but other sites have mirrored it. It's very funny.

I dont think Kenny G even plays the sax, isnt the instrument he uses like some sort of variation? It produces a similar sound to a sax but it looks nothing like one.


Anyways, im not talking about songs that are neccisarily by a sax player, but just songs that have parts where a sax can be heard.... Example "Everytime i close my eyes" by Babyface.... Anyone whos ever heard it knows that theres a sax in it at some point which really adds some lovelyness to the song. Also see: "I Swear" - All 4 One, which had an area where a sax came into play...

I need some "relaxing" slow jam type of songs at night, thats usually when i have to get down and hit the books, or type up a report. I just need some music to unwind to 😉

 
IIRC KennyG plays a Soprano Sax. It may have another name. I believe the technique to play that is the same as standard saxaphone.

Well, I'm all about Spyro Gyra....they are a sax-driven jazz group and I find their music to be really feel-good kinda stuff. It's the stuff that I bust out in my car on a warm early spring day or in mid winter when I wish it was a spring day.

Gorelick plays soprano sax. There are many different types of saxophones. He happens to usually play the straight variety that looks more like a brass clarinet than a sax, but it's a sax and you can get ones that are hooked and look like corny little toy saxophones. They are in the key of Bb like tenor saxes, IIRC, and they use the standard fingering used by most all saxes, flutes, recorders, fifes, pennywhistles, great highland bagpipes (sort of), etc.

Being a sax player makes you so versatile....lol

Edit: SAX DRIVEN not SEX DRIVEN. Stupid freudian slips...
 
spyro gyra is good

dave matthews would be a good choice - as far as love songs w/ sax, definitely listen to lover lay down, lots of sax, definitely a love song
