    I gotta go with these, more of the funky variety:

    Pick Up The Pieces by The Average White Band and

    Here Comes The Express by BT Express (which also contains a great flute solo)




    I realize those may be a little old school for some of you young whipper snappers but you don't know what you're missing.

    Just a side note ; you know what we need? we need a place to post sound files, like we post picture files so when you come up with a good topic like this we could post the song for folks to listen to ( not copy I guess so we could avoid copywrite issues)

    Anybody got a way to do this like posting a link to a sound file on a personal web page? (I would need step by step instructions because I don't have a clue how to do that)

    Wham! feat. George Michael - Careless Whisper

    close the thread. any further responses are not worthy of George Michael and Andrew Ridgely.

    Anything Coletrane but Wham! is definitely a honorable mention.

    amen to "cant you hear me knockin"

    "brown sugar" too!

    bobby keys was the bad-ass unofficial 6th member of the stones. he should have gotten more credit than he did.

    greatest sax player and album - coltrane - a love supreme.

    what if coltrane had played with wham? he would have been jammin' on careless whispers!

    I second that along with:

    "Naima" by Coltrane
    "Summertime" by Coltrane
    "Blue Train" by Coltrane
    "Song for my Father" by Horace Silver (Joe Henderson's sax solo kicks ass!)
    "St. Thomas" by Sonny Rollins
    "Tenor Madness" by Rollins WITH Coltrane

    That is just a few great jazz ones that I can think off the top of my head

    Us and Them -- Pink Floyd

    Glad to see that George Michael can still get some love. The guy has one of the best voices ever.

    Agreed. Wham Rap is also one of the best rap songs ever.

    I thought that guys legal name was "the other guy from Wham". Learn something new everyday, I guess.

    Without listing the endless jazz tunes played by the masters, I'd have to 2nd any DMB songs. That guy is an underrated player. Like all the greats, he knows when to play and more importantly when not to play. He knows how to use space during his solos, not just blow fast and loud like so many others.

    Some of my favs from him are:

    Seek Up, Live At Red Rocks
    Proudest Monkey, Live At Red Rocks
    #41 extended solo, Listener Supported

    Pretty much anything he's done live.

    Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamond
