What is your #1 and # 2 saxophone performance?
For me, #1 is in Pink Floyd's Money and #2 is pretty much anything by Clarence Clemons

Yes Sir...

Number two (in order as your other thread here) is not shit.

Number one is the shit.

That Italian job, while decent and somewhat melancholy, it is rather pedestrian - at best. Billy Clinton?!? Cute-ish, but Faggit-about-it. What else ya got? Sax got soul. The Big Man rules, or at least did. I didn't realize he died in 2011.

I had no idea the Big Man played that ditty. That's the way to play a sax!

I can see how you can say that about the Italian sax. No soul. Just fun. I don't think he, the musician, is actually Italian. It would shine through.

And, yeah yeah, I was just goading with the Clinton sax.

Here's a twist; does it have to be a performance of the sax? Or a performance to the sax?

I'll see your twist and raise you the Daily Double (Ding!, Ding!, Ding!). Here is a more soul filled sax performance behind a top contender for all time #2 movie pick.

(2min 30 sec)

I like it. Especially the dirty puns.


You want soul?

I like the challenge to raise the stakes. I'm going to look for a . . . .

It just came to me: (seriously, as I was writing).


Okay. I can't find the clip. So I'll set the scene, if you will.

Harry Block meets Amy Sexton (sex is in the name) in an elevator. She's a fan of his writing. His verbal skills divert him from one woman he jilts on the way up to see, to his adoring fan. Next scene they are dancing to the sax on the juke box in a dimly lit café.

I'll save this and look for the piece I describe in a trailer or something. Sex and sax did sell this scene. Creepy Woody makes out with Elizabeth Shue.

[eccieuser9500]

First part of what I described. But just for a literal second: one minute thirteen seconds to fourteen seconds.

[eccieuser9500]

Thirty seven minutes nine seconds mark.

This is the best I could find.

Not the best audio. It sucks. Almost feel shame to post. Oh well.

[eccieuser9500]

Got it! On the money.

Your move.

Sexy. Soulful. Sax.

[eccieuser9500]

Almost forgot: Raise!
