What makes the saxophone so sexy?

It's a very rich, warm and complex sound. Plus it has a very sharp attack that many other woodwinds don't have.

It's warm-sounding and smooth. Also, a letter change makes it the sexophone. Duh!

I wouldn't necessarily say sexy... I don't consider Coltrane's sound to be sexy at all. Sax is still my favorite jazz solo instrument to listen to though.

Yeah, listening to more Coltrane right now, the sax is definitely NOT always sexy. Coltrane is still my fav though.
