Can't You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones

How about this one!! Apparently that is Fathead Newman on sax. 

Jaimoe on congas is up in the mix. 

I wonder if this is the first 50ish rock ballad. Herschel must have coached her to sing bluesy which she never did. The ill fated Herschel Evans has been largely abandoned by the jazz world but here his wailing and screeching away shows him more to be the first rock player anyway. Shakes me to here those lick and phrases that Clapton and the guys were to play years later. The only musician I love as much as Duane.

@tenorsfan I enjoyed that. Nice vocals and sax. I'm not that familiar with Herschel Evans but glad I found him. If you love him as much as Duane, that is saying a lot. I'll be checking out more from Herschel. 

I saw Jr. Walker once about 1968 in Virginia at a night club. Jr. was a good sax man I thought. 

Yea. Loved Jr Walker back in the day. Then there's Feelin' Alright,  Dave Mason's entry for song of the century. Joe Cocker took over the song, even Mason eventually sang it his way, but the original with Chris Wood on tenor sax, I just love. Wood's a little primitive, but sure adds a mood to the thing.

Probably NOT my favorite, but I love this music by Frank Zappa & The Mothers.

😎

If it’s purely rock then it counts out some personal favorites like Art Pepper and King Curtis.

If we are talking only studio then it counts out any awkward conversations about Juicy Carter and Tick Allen 😉 

If it’s rock then you can’t go too far wrong with Bobby Keys. It's not strictly rock but here is Bobby with Nicky Hopkins

1) Larry Carlton - "Kid Charlamagne"

2) Magic Dick/Harp on - "Whammer Jammer"

3) Dickey Betts -  "One Way out"

4) Mick Taylor - "Can't you hear me Knockin'"

5) David Lindley - "Mercury Blues"

6) Steve Lukather - "Rosanna"

Sorry didn't notice the "Saxaphone" thing

Gerry Rafferty Baker Street 

Foreigner “Jukebox Hero”

(Junior Walker)

More obscure:

Tommy Bolin “Crazed Fandango” David Sanborn

Jim Horn - Excitable Boy, Warren Zevon

Curtis Amy - Touch Me, the Doors

Dick Parry -  Money, Pink Floyd

Randall Bramblett - Living in a Dream, Seal Level

Edgar Winter - Frankenstein 

Mel Collins -  King Crimson, Alvin Lee, Bad Company, Dire Straits ... every note he plays! 

Stretching the OP's boundaries again but this is such a great record. Great dancers. Daddy G on sax.

Then there's this. Think that's King Curtis on the outro, and all the wonderful teens. Girls with their long dresses. Fantastic.

Really stretching it but musicians back then didn't really stomp that much. Like they were more respectful, or just played for the dancers. Get the feeling it was Django who said, c'mon guys, let's rock. Great record.

This has a sax solo. It's a cover of a song the Box Tops had about 1967 which was a big hit. 

1980 hit by sax player Grover Washington, Jr with Bill Withers on vocals. 

This isn't a rock song but it's Sunday morning and this is the first jazz composition to sell over one million records. 

The sax player Paul Desmond wrote Take Five in 1959 and it became a huge hit in 1960. Paul passed away in 1977 of lung cancer and his will provided all the royalties from Take Five and other original compositions to the American Red Cross which continues to enjoy that financial support today. 

How about a Trombone 🪊 🪊 solo if it's okay. 

Dick Nash, the trombone soloist here, I read turned 98 years old this year!! NINETY EIGHT! God bless him. 

Yea man. I'd say Uncle Benny is even more rock n' roll. Not listened to much now, once the favourite off the greatest  generation. Such is time, unless you're Dick Nash.

I'd say the way jazz guys are playing the saxophone now, it won't be long before guys are asking," Say man, you heard of a saxophone?" "No man, never heard of it. What is it?"

Thank God for rock n' roll.

@tenorsfan Yes. That was a gig in Japan in 1980. Just 6 years later both Benny Goodman ( heart attack-77 )and the piano player Teddy Wilson ( Stomach cancer-73 ) passed away. Dick Nash, who also was with Henry Mancini, is the only one still living at 98 from that Goodman line up. 

Said Wilson was hired by Goodman to play piano in the 1930's. Lionel Hampton, also black, was in the early version of that band. Said they couldn't play South of the Mason Dixon line in the 1930's and 40's because it was against the law in most southern cities for whites and blacks to perform together. Jim Crow. 

Must not have been that way in New Orleans. Trombone player Jack Teagarden played in New Orleans in the 1940's with Cozy Cole as his drummer and had a black singer but I forget her name. 

The Allman Brothers had some of that early because of Jaimoe. When they all were arrested on drug charges in Alabama, Jaimoe was in the jail for black inmates. That is why he isn't on that mugshot sheet which has Duane, Gregg, Dickey, Berry and Butch. 

When I saw that picture in a music magazine about 1971 that is when I discovered Duane's first name was Howard, Dickey's was Forrest and Berry's was Raymond and he was a 3rd. Those three used their middle names. 

Well Butch was Claude Hudson Trucks, Jr. Butch was a nickname. 

I remember a major league baseball pitcher named Virgin Trucks in the early 60's. Derek Trucks mentioned Virgil in an interview recently. Virgil Trucks was kin. 

@tenorsfan Here is trombone player Jack Teagarden in 1957 with Cozy Cole on drums and the bass player is black. It must have been cool to play with anybody in New Orleans during Jim Crow. 

@tenorsfan Lionel Hampton is absolutely rock and roll with the symphony. Fantastic piano solo by another cat too!! 

anything by bobby keys.

@thing Thank You! I forgot Bobby Keys. I found this which I remember from a Stones tour. Bobby Keys on SAXOPHONE 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
