Happy Birthday Adolph Sax! The man who invented the saxophone would be 200 years old today and what a legacy he left when he passed away in 1894 (aged 79 seeing as you asked). It comes as no surprise therefore, that today is International Saxophone Day and to mark the occasion, we asked the listeners of The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show to tell us what their favourite saxophone solos were. Apart from some really great, cheesy suggestions, we were also reminded of THIS, thanks to Charlie in Meath, who hit the nail on the head when he said:
Iano sax solos always remind me of watching TV as a kid and when you hear the sax music you know there's be a big embarrassing "bedroom scene"! Sax = sex.
Best sax ever!! All Of My Life Phil Collins. Great Show. Thanks Ken
To anyone saying Jubel is the best sax song of 2014 - it's also the ONLY sax song of 2014! If you want something new, try New Orleans by Naxxos ;-)
