Play That Sax

So, obviously there are many, many songs that make you want to yell ” play that sax !”.

Here are a few:

Fleur East – Sax.

This song has a distinct lack of actual saxophone, but it’s a catchy tune, with saxophonic lyrics .

=============

An old classic from Zoot and the Muppets – Zoot can certainly play that sax !

===================

Continuing on with the Muppets – Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem with “Sweet Tooth Jam” .

Zoot from the Muppets is certainly a major influence here at HowToPlayTheSax.com !

Maceo Parker – Pass The Peas

====================

Candy Dulfer – Pick Up The Pieces

Check out Candy’s sax solo at about the 8 minute 45 second mark in this video !!

Crazy Sax Guy – he can play that sax.

=========================

No sax solo round up would be complete without Cannonball Adderley (Alto Sax) and John Coultrane (Tenor Sax) from the 1959 Miles Davis album “Kind of Blue”.

Miles Davis – So What.

John Coutrane starts his solo at 3 mins 25sec.  Cannonball Adderley starts his sax solo at 5 mins 15 seconds.  Magic from both of them.  and Miles Davis on trumpet plus the band are awesome too !

Baby baby I’ve been waitin’ for the one to blow my mind
Baby maybe you can get it if you got that thang I like

I need a stay up brother with a James Brown soul
The type of red hot love that got me freezin’ cold
Say you can go all night the way you lay that track
But if you wanna hear me sing you better play that sax

Those little boys making all that noise
But you ain’t gon’ steal the show
No fancy cars or bass guitars

Take a deep breath and blow

Get loose, get right
Get a grip and rock me all night
Hold tight, lean back
Play one on one with that sax

Get loose, get right
Get a grip and rock me all night
Hold tight, lean back
Play one on one with that sax
