As Colosseum or Audience (an excellent, sort of VDGG lite 70s band) aren't here, it has to be VDGG. The sax solos really do add something to the song, in things like 'Man Erg' (maybe my fave sax solo ever) and 'Scorched Earth'.

The two Ian's... McDonald & Underwood are my favourites, but then
of course there's Elton Dean, sh*t, cant leave him out, Phil Shulman as
well, a very tasteful and subtle player in my opinion, David 'Jaxon'
god, what a sound...
I cant choose one, sorry.
But wait, does this guy count, Harold McNair? If so, he's my choice!!!

yesterday I listened to my newly bought remastered editions of
"Godbluff" and "Still Life", so my choice is obvious...

While probably not the most proficient of sax players, I absolutely LOVE Phil Schulman's work in the early Giant. Especially the album Three Friends: I love the guitar and sax interplay on Working All Day, and especially that killer guitar/sax unison riff on Peel The Paint.

My vote is to Monsieur Bloomdido Bad De Grasse - Didier Malherbe, from Gong. I love Mel Collins' work with Crimson and Camel, Elton Dean with Soft Machine, but I think that Malherbe was the best saxophonist at the prog scene.

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

Did Harold McNair play sax on the 'Airforce' album with Ginger Baker? If so, I agree- there's some great sax playing on that. I know his flute work was on many albums though, like 'The Tumbler' by John Martyn and 'Asylum' by Cressida.

He did, along with Chris Wood and Graham Bond.

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.
