I am interested in your favorite bands that have two or more sax players (tenor and/or baritone) swing or blues

Weather Report with Wayne Shorter. Steely Dan and their famous horn sections, I know that none of these are purely swing or blues, but they stem mostly from the blues. Wayne is a legend and has played with the best, IMO (I know it's sacrilegious to a few for me to write this, but.....) Wayne, in some aspects, is just as competent as Trane.

Another great player that specializes in the baritone is Ronnie Cuber, his playing in The Scene Is Clean, is phenomenal, though it's a Latin Jazz CD, highly recommended. Another favorite tenor player is Gato Barbieri his Caliente CD is a standard amongst Latin/Modern jazz gurus, great orchestration on this CD.

Not sacrilegious, Shorter is known as one of the greatest jazz composers of all time. For some, he is THE greatest jazz composer.

Sax lovers might enjoy Mingus albums. Try Blues and Roots. Replete with alto, tenor, and baritone saxes. And Mingus is my fav anyhow!

Not a group, but one of the best sax players I have heard is Mindi Abair. (Easy on the eyes, too!)

Candy Dulfer is another one, that plays the sax, as good as she looks.
A great song is 'Lily Was Here'

She's a hotty.

Ever since I got good equipment my tastes are swaying away from rock and into the jazz and other areas so I appreciate your experiences, I played guitar in high school stage band and got into jazz then but got away from it. I did buy my first Steely Dan album in about 7th grade and just yesterday afternoon had Aja cranked up righteously before judo class.

Nothing like AJA to make you appreciate good music. Look at the roster of guys that played on those dates, mind blowing:


Walter Becker - bass, guitar, electric guitar, vocals
Chuck Rainey - bass
Timothy B. Schmit - bass, vocals
Donald Fagen - synthesizer, keyboards, vocals, background vocals, whistle
Paul Griffin - keyboards, electric piano, vocals, background vocals
Don Grolnick - keyboards, clavinet
Michael Omartian - piano, keyboards
Joe Sample - keyboards, electric piano, clavinet
Larry Carlton - guitar, electric guitar
Denny Dias - guitar
Jay Graydon - guitar, electric guitar
Steve Khan - guitar
Dean Parks - guitar
Lee Ritenour - guitar
Pete Christlieb - flute, tenor saxophone
Chuck Findley - horn, brass
Jim Horn - flute, saxophone
Richard Hyde - trombone
Slyde Hyde - brass
Plas Johnson - flute, saxophone
Jackie Kelso - flute, horn, saxophone
Lou McCreary - brass
Bill Perkins - flute, horn, saxophone
Tom Scott - conductor, flute, tenor saxophone, lyricon
Wayne Shorter - flute, tenor saxophone
Bernard Purdie - drums
Steve Gadd - drums (on Aja)
Ed Greene - drums (on "I got the News")
Paul Humphrey - drums
Jim Keltner - percussion, drums

Victor Feldman - percussion, piano, keyboards, electric piano, vibraphone
Venetta Fields - vocals, background vocals

You can build a fantastic music library using this roster as a base.

Dexter Gordon's " Sophisticated Giant " is a great album.

I recomend highly.

Her playing is great. Unfortunately, the CD of hers that I tried was marred by overproduction and too many "urban beats". The final straw for me was that one song had a rap on it. I have zero tolerance for rap.

 

[stratman]

Her earlier stuff was better, she's still the best looking sax player out there.

Maybe I will try one of her older ones. As I said, I like her playing. I agree that she is hot, but have you seen Mindi Abair?

Mindi Abair is good too, I've got two of her CD's. Their names escape me right now...

That was fantastic. I've heard that tune before but have no clue where. So what genre would that fall into? Too bad for me that I only got to listen to that on the computer. I'm gonna listen to that again.
