Dave Moore Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 When I started learning my personal ambition was always to play the raucus sax solo in George Clinton's "Please Don't Run From Me". I did eventually manage a 'poor man's version'. Also, of course the opening salvo of Jr Walker's "I Ain't Going Nowhere" is stooopendous (and a little easier to learn). Regards, Dave

Platters 81 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Impressions......"you ought to be in heaven"...with a super long sax break
Guest Dave Turner Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Impressions......"you ought to be in heaven"...with a super long sax break Post #17 ... tube clip shows Danny Wagner unfortunately
Soulfinger Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Apart from all the Jr Walker stuff referred to above, my aim was always to play the sax break from What Good am I (Without You) - Mickie Champion. One for the anoraks....This guy made a study of R&B sax solos. I'm working my way slowly and painfully through these. https://athenaeum.libs.uga.edu/bitstream/handle/10724/17202/costigan_christopher_j_200712_dma.pdf?sequence=1 It's good to be ambitious.

Guest Droylsdonian Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Going by all the misprinted labels, with spelling mistakes as basic as artists' & writers' names & song titles, it's a miracle that many NS toons ever got released. So who told the guys at Arctic to put a penguin on there?
Peter99 Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) An old Dave Thorley spin - picked up from one of Chalky's Stafford podcasts - cos I would never have remembered it: Debby Dobbins - nice. Love the vocals on this - and the sax break too. Edited June 3, 2012 by Peter99
Guest nubes Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Roadrunner by Junior Walker..one of the best sax breaks on a record ever..if that doesnt inspire...well...Delxxxxx

Guest manusf3a Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) G Davis R Tyler Hold on help is on the way! ( Slightly off topic but I find it hard to believe and cant percieve that the chairman of the northstalker keymarang club is not posting on these forums? or at least reading them,bet hes reading them!)

Guest Droylsdonian Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Don't remember Bob with a tache but a slight fella, often backed Tony Christie as well.
Autumnstoned Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 The sax break in Something About You - 4 Tops is one of me favourites. Is it Mike Terry? It sounds totally un-hinged - Love it!
Guest manusf3a Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Not sure about the sax break mate - but that is one hellla of a shite piece of plastic! Cant please everyone mate I liked it but time and place an all that but I went out the other night and heard two whole dj sets of what sounded shite to me but hey I am only just stating to get out and listen after thirty odd years and quite a lot of what ive heard sounds shite although I do say your deddie dobbins posting is new to me anyway,and that does cut it as far as I am concerned just that I havent heard much to match ,still plenty of time and all that atb
Tiberius Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Al Serafini - Hey, Soul Man / Lil Rosey. Both sides sax instrumentals. Mentioned this 45 before in the recent "Instrumentals Still Collecting Them" thread. Wouldn't say they're my faves as such but,from a saxophonists perspective,would be good to play along to. Or something short but punchy Patti & the Emblems - Easy Come, Easy go has a good break at about 1:30
Mark S Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 The trip - Dave mitchel and the screamers - not so much sax playing more stangeling but hey ho
