Lately, I've noticed that a few mainstream pop artists are incorporating sax solos into their work. We're not talking about anything particularly groundbreaking as far as solo work, but it's nice to see that our horn is still relevant today, and is perhaps making more of a return in the pop music scene. Two recent examples are Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" ad Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory." Not exactly the kind of music that I usually listen to, but it beats the usual pop from these days. I, for one, would love to see our art get a little more recognition. But, it's still nice to hear from people when they learn that I play sax something akin to, " Cool, man, I love sax!", even from my teenage peers. Perhaps not all is lost for my generation, musically. Anybody else have any modern pop examples of good sax work?
