Greetings, fellow Freepers...my 10 year-old has recently taken up a musical instrument, the saxophone. She's interested, and although there's an obviously long road ahead, I was hoping to collect some examples of the saxophone to get her some additional exposure to the sound.
Looking for musically-inclined to assist with a brain-storming list. Obviously, I'd like to hear examples of jazz or blues, but I'd like to include rock, pop, and even orchestral genres as well. What songs or artists would you suggest as a good example of saxophone play?
Check out Candy Dulfer. She was 18 years old when she played “Lili was Here”, a duet with Dave Stewart that became a cross-over pop hit. Her website features a sax education page:

Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road. The sax is played by Clarence Clemmons.
Second Candy Dulfer, especially the CD Saxuality, specifically the song Lilly was here!
Especially or alto playing

Turn of the Tides by Tangerine Dream has a couple of tracks that use the soprano sax.
Check out a song called Free Soul by John Klemmer - hot, hot, hot saxophone.
Also musts: David Sanborn, Gato Barbieri, Grover Washington
Feast upon Billy Joel’s “Until the Night” from 52nd Street. Sax drops in around 5:04; knocks your socks off.
Also check out “Don’t Do It” from the Band on Rock of Ages.
This one’s a lot of fun too (more Dave Koz)

here is the “Magic Sax” of Boots Randolph (my favorite and inspiration to play the sax myself)

additionally the theme song for the late great Benny Hill
and then you also have Kenny G.
Have fun with it. My primary was the alto sax but preferred Soprano I was able to play all four though.
Have fun and enjoy...
Jazz : the track St. Thomas by Sonny Rollins . Everyone should own KIND OD BLUE by Miles Davis which features John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly on saxes . Lester Young and The Piano Greats( Teddy Wilson , John Lewis , Oscar Peterson ; Nat King Cole ; Hank Jones ) very accessible . Man I could make you a list a mile long .
She needs a girl to relate to. Introduce her Sandra Grant...

I see people have already put the word in for Candi Dulfer. She’s great
