What''s your favorite musical instrument to listen to?

[wmonbear]

My favourite musical instrument is probably the human voice...

That's a great answer. The human voice is certainly a musical instrument.
Unfortunately, I wasn't wise enough to include it specifically among the provided multiple choices.

I'm voting sax too.

So many great individual sex players down through time. Sanborn is certainly in that field.
So is Stanley Turrentine...
Not necessarily a consistently all time great, but he sure was on this particular night :bowdown: ...Johnny Almond...

Like your taste in tunes, pool_hustler :thumbsup:... thoroughly enjoy both selections, especially the first "youtune"/clip.
Can really appreciate the old school sound with clear, distinct left - right instrument separation.
Unfortunately, they don't design musical sound this way anymore.

Kenny G is very good... saw him live about 10 years ago. But my main "sax guy" is David Sanborn.

Sax and Flute? I always liked Chris Wood from Traffic. His sax playing on "Low Spark ..." :bowdown: then you have to listen to Ian Anderson's flute intro and during the bridge on "Cross Eyed Mary" :thumbsup:

I prefer his work on Thick as a Brick edit one, which is the version on Bursting out. Actually, all of his work. I;m a huge Tull fan.

No Lullaby. That's the song I was thinking of, when I posted this. I'm listening to as I type this.

Although the violoncello comes close. It speaks in a special way.

And... it can dance, too.

To complete my personal Top 3: the harpsichord! :heart:

Works perfectly well in pop/rock music, too:

[Mr. Daystar]

Rick Wakeman, the more famous, and skilled of the band Yes, used Harpsichords a lot in his solo work. The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth, is a great example of that.


Back a couple of posts....My God, off of Aqualung, is a great example of Ian Anderson's flute playing.

 

[BigSwede]

I voted drums, but I really like the bassoon and the transverse flute.
The flute is great both in jazz and classical.

 

[wmonbear]

I voted for the bassoon in the poll, but I also LOVE the sound a "muted" trumpet (see Greg Addams @ 03:27).
Horn lovers will appreciate this clip... Richard Elliot absolutely crushes it - Wow!!!

Speaking of great Hammond organists : Matthew Fisher and Booker T. Jones! :thumbsup: :bowdown: :thumbsup:

Steve Winwood too in the SDG. :thumbsup: :bowdown: :thumbsup:

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Yeah, Booker T can do some miraculous things with a B3, another one, is Greg Allman. He does a pretty damn good job on a Hammond. I read somewhere hes kind of a snob though about the year of manufacture though. I guess with his cash, you can pull that off, considering what vintage Leslie's and B3's go for.

:clap: Two more great B-3 players, Gregg Allman and Jon Lord :clap:

(I chose "Midnight Rider" over "Whipping Post" as Gregg called "Midnight Rider", "the song I'm most proud of in my career" )

Gregg Allman on "Midnight Rider" and Jon Lord on "Hush" :thumbsup: :bowdown: :thumbsup:

Outstanding!

Tower of Power - Still the best horn section on the planet :bowdown:
