I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Love the sax, and there's so much saxophone in a lot of the music I like. Didier Malherbe, Elton Dean, Lol Coxhill, Yochk'o Seffer Mel Collins, Dirk Engelhardt, and David Jackson are some of my favourites.
Zao - Isis Frank Zappa - The Gumbo Variations Henry Cow - Nirvana For Mice Gnidrolog - Social Embarrassment Xhol Caravan - Raise Up High Hatfield and the North -The Yes No Interlude Embryo - Revolution Pieree Henry and Urban Sax - Gate of Paradise (I consider it proggy) |

Hi,
I do NOT look at ANY music, because of one instrument or another. SPECIALLY PROGRESSIVE, which is not about the instrument (definition sux on that one!), but the complete musical design and its beauty. I find it sad, to think of one piece of music is this or that ... because of this or that ... It's not about the instrument ... it's about how it is integrated into the musical piece ... to be fair to the composer, you should not "see" or "hear" a saxophone ... you should hear a well done and put together piece of music! But song folks want their gueetar solo ... I hope more folks like Frank put the guitar down and conduct the concert ... maybe it will show these people what music is and isn't.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name is filled with great saxophone moments. Definitely recommended for those who like their technical prog metal with a twist!

Don't miss King Crimson's "One More Red Nightmare" from the Red album - awesome sax!
Also, love the sax in Gentle Giant's "The Moon is Down" from Acquiring The Taste Soft Machine's "Third" has some excellent sax on it from memory

I have quite an appreciation for songs that use saxophone in a meaningful way, as I find them to sound simply incredible. Are there any prog songs that do this well?
I've already heard quite a variety, such as: Caligula's Horse - Graves The entire discography of the Mars Volta and Thank You Scientist Native Construct - Passage All the Pink Floyd songs that involve the sax Van Der Graaf Generator Shining - Fisheye and the list goes on. What other songs or artists should I check out?
