I know the classics, but i was listening to the live version of the chicken on the jaco pastorius birthday concert CD and the sax player just blew me away! you guys gotta download this tune, it is ridiculously awesome.

If any of you are familiar with other great songs featuring wayne shorter or david sanborne (sp?), i want to get into some of this stuff, and also help promote the improvement of our tenor player by showing him what a good sax player sounds like.

If u don't already have Wayne Shorter's "Speak No Evil", that's a freakin' must.

I also have "Night Dreamer" & "JuJu", & I like them as well.

I have almost all of the Weather Report LPs. It is 100% Shorter.

David Sanborn Cds vary in quality: they go from "brilliant" to "sleazy". I've stopped buying them since he got a bit repetitive. I thought "Straight to the Heart" was good (live) and his appearance on "Casino Lights". He really shines as a sideman (remember "Young Americans" from Bowie?).

He plays a lot with Marcus Miller (who wrote a lot of his tunes) and he's cool too.
