I didn't know that it's a cornet, I thought that's a sax. Nevermind, that's some great brass part of THE song anyway.

I always liked Pink Floyd's incorporation of the saxophone. I love the saxophone solos in Us And Them, Money, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Of course, I love what Mel Collins and Ian McDonald did in King Crimson, especially in Starless and Fallen Angel.

Steve Hackett - Serpentine Song
Jade Warrior - Barazinbar

Just listening to one on Soft Machine v.3 that's pretty magnificent, but I don't have the songs labeled on the CD that I burned and I don't have the album (records) with me in this state.

Definitely the solo in Money, by Pink Floyd.

My co-worker says he likes Ladies of the Road, by King Crimson.

Gato Barbieri's solo in the "Hotel Overture" of Carla Bley's Escalator Over the Hill is a good one.  Very over the top, right where the occasion calls for such a thing.

Rare Birds by Hoelderlin, a band that doesn’t generate near enough discussion on this forum.

I'm probably this site's biggest fan of Rare Birds (see my review). Absolutely drool over S/T, Clowns And Clouds and Rare Birds. Pure bliss.
As far as fave sax is concerned : anything by Mel Collins, David Jackson, Didier Malherbe, Jimmy Hastings, Elton Dean, Wayne Shorter etc. etc.
