Since When Is the Saxophone Not a Rock and Roll Instrument?

Thank you for proving that the saxophone is a rock and roll instrument! This a comment I received recently after someone watched one of my sax videos. Two friends were arguing whether the sax was even considered to be a valid instrument in rock and roll.
For me, this is such a preposterous question to even ask but then when I think about the state of today's commercial music, radio, video etc it really is a valid one.
By now I suppose there are many, many young people who would not even consider that the sax belongs or even has a place in any type of modern rock-based commercial music... mostly because it doesn't!
This was true to some extent even when I discovered the great tone of the saxophone in rock and roll back in the early 70's. Sure, you'd hear it in some mainstream groups like Springsteen's, Supertramp, and Billy Joel to name just a few but the list doesn't get too long.
If you were like me, a big fan of rock-based music you had to do some digging for yourself because the mainstream broadcasters weren't going to let you hear any of that.
Interestingly enough, the further back I dug the more I found. Meaning that the further back you go the more sax was used on rock and roll music. In fact, when rock and roll started sax was king. Not many groups went without one and many had more than one sax in the line-up.
When most people hear someone talk about the beginning of rock and roll they immediately think about the mid 50's with Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis and on from there. The truth is that by that time rock and roll was almost 10 years old.
The late 40's had some wild blues based R & B music that was so new and crazy sounding people started calling it rock and roll, not the media though, just people in the music business like musicians, producers and some in-the-know fans. Musicians were singing about rock and roll too, it's meaning being of the sexual nature.
Anyway, the sax sound that was being produced by some of these young up-and-coming players not only fit into this new sound but was a big part of it. One of the early wild screamers on the sax was Illinois Jacquet, who as part of Lionel Hampton's group recorder a live solo way back in May of 1942. That sax solo is considered to be the first recorded solo that inspired the players who would come up through the 40's and be part of the new music that would be called rock and roll. Illinois Jacquet was 19 years old at the time.
The recording was "Flying Home" and it signified the end of the big band swing era and the beginning of the wild R & B era which would turn into rock and roll by the end of the 40's.
Fast forward to the late 40's, that's when rock and roll started to be. It evolved over the next few years and became so popular that eventually hit mainstream in the mid 50's. It's around this time that the guitar overshadowed the sax in these groups because guitar became a big part of the rhythm and eventually started taking over the solo's too.
This was just a natural progression which was dictated by the music. The sax never left completely and other elements came in like the piano and so it continues.
The saxophone, with it's unique sound capabilities to go from the mellowest tone to the wildest screaming instrument makes it one of the most versatile instruments we have.

On The Look Out For Hot New Soul Divas!

There have been many 'new big things' promised in the world of pop and soul, but few really live up to the old classic divas, the ones who used to rule the smoky clubs of New Orleans and used their dusky voice and powerful personalities to create a name for themselves in immortality. There are too many to mention here, but if you are into soul, then you will already have a favourite.
Cast your mind back to the first time that you heard that soul or rock singer who really captured your ear; the needle hit the groove and the band began to play, with the delicate croon of bluesy soul riding over the music beneath. Wouldn't it be great if we had them now, rather than the terrible pop stars that are force fed into our daily diet of music through the radio and TV?
What seems to be lacking in today's music scene are true originals, singers that channel the spirits of their heroines in their singing and songwriting style. However, they are out there; you just have to search for them. If you trawl MySpace and Facebook music pages, then you are sure to stumble upon true talents who are constantly uploading their songs for the world to hear.
There's no doubt that the singers are out there, it just means that you have to look a little harder for them; unfortunately it doesn't require drinking down at the blues bars in New Orleans and waiting for a gorgeous singer to take the stage. Now you have to sit at you computer and wait for the next big thing to come through your stereo speakers...you can still make it fun and imagine that you were there in the heart of it though!
So tonight, or whenever it is that you have a free couple of hours, browse through the internet and see what today's soul divas are up to. You may actually be surprised at what you discover and even find a new favourite for your online record collection. It may not sound as fun as stepping into a smoky bar, but what with the smoking ban, most of the blues bars have lost that character anyway! We can all discover our new favourite singer and then, with enough support, get them to play in our local concert hall to relive the old days!

The Top 4 Female Jazz And Soul Singers Of All Time

Although she is long gone, Ella has recordings which showed that she has earned the title of The First Lady of Song, as she is still being referred to even today.
Etta James is one of the greatest singers of American blues, R&B (rhythm and blues), soul, rock and roll, jazz and gospel. During the 50s and 60s, James enjoyed a successful career with the legendary Chess Records as an R&B and blues singer.
