Saxophone tends to be used as an instrument for soloing or flourishes
in rock/prog rather than making up the bulk of the sound. For this
reason I've always had a lot of time for Van Der Graaf Generator, as
the sax+organ setup creates an instantly recognisable sound, and a damn
good one too. |
I agree! In fact, maybe one could say that the usual guitar's role is performed in VDGG by the sax.

Certainly David Jackson. He's what God made the sax for. The solo in "Man-Erg" is absolutely divine.

I agree to that. a sax player that should be named too though is Roland
Schaeffer of Guru Guru, Brainstorm and Embryo. he is also an excellent
lead guitarist; a somewhat unusual combination

I GREE!!!! I LOVE GONG WITH BLOOMDDIDO BAD DE
GRASSE EVEN THE LATEST GONG CDS WITH BAD DE GRASSE ARE

I would say the Danish, check out Secret Oyster in
the 70's, Johannes Schonning in the 80's, they've
got that nocturnal swooze that cant be matched.

He did, along with Chris Wood and Graham Bond.
