Al Stewart- Year of the cat ...and when the guitar takes over - brilliant

I was about to post he same!

The sax player was Phil Kenzie who also featured on the Poco song Heart of the Night. Clip here shows the band being introduced by Andy Gibb I think? Sax comes in around 2 minutes 50

Not know for singles and hit records but anybody else remember seeing the late great Dick Heckstall-Smith ? His sax playing was awesome. I saw him with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and also Colleseum.... that was unforgettable.

I would have liked to have seen Clarence Clemons but never made it to Springsteen concerts

Saw both. Springsteen at Milton Keynes 93 was fantastic and saw Colosseum a few times at the Dome. Heckstall-Smith's trademark playing two saxes was amazing.

Great song and great sax solo.

 

[Mr Putdown]

How true, Clarence Clemons' solo toward the end of "Jungleland"?

That would get my vote, it's superb.

Ha, good thing I checked before posting the same. Superb stuff.

King Curtis - Whiter Shade of Pale.

Bottle of wine, lights on low, this tune playing...BOOM

Another vote for Will You, one of my favourite pop songs.

Sadly, the saxophonist responsible for the wonderful solo, Wesley Magoogan, lost his fingers in a buzz-saw accident and can no longer play. I believe he lives in Sussex somewhere around Hastings/Bexhill area. He has an autistic son who's an artist and helps promote his work.

EDIT: Just looked him up and his son has Down's syndrome, not autism. And Wesley is his manager and owns a studio in Hastings
