Lots of good posts, so I'll add three that haven't been mentioned

Alan Silvestri - Romancing the Stone

David Foster - The Secret of My Success and Stealing Home


For some reason I remember the say in St Elmos Fire, but not in Secret Of My Success or Stealing Home...

Could be because I love the movie so much, since otherwise I'm not much on the sax, but my favorite usage is probably Bruce Smeaton's ROXANNE.

John Barry: Body Heat

I'll second that nomination, and add also Art Pepper's amazing sax work in Jerry Fielding's score for THE ENFORCER -- listen to that Main Title some time and you'll hear what I'm talking about!


I did not realize that was Art Pepper!

It's perhaps not of great interest, but I'm getting all confused now about what Art Pepper and others did on Fielding's THE ENFORCER and THE GAUNTLET. He was mostly alto sax, wasn't he? But the solo in the Main Titles of THE ENFORCER doesn't sound like an alto, and it certainly isn't an alto in the tracks I attributed him to in THE GAUNTLET. Could be Ronnie Lang or Bill Perkins. Or anybody. Don Menza?

Ah, Don Menza! It's time to mention... Gil Mellé! THE ORGANIZATION! Splendid sax during the Main Titles, possibly by Menza.

Oh, and... you can tell I'm not consulting the Wikileaks or anything for this - I have an album of the "score" by Michel Legrand for ROADS TO THE SOUTH, but I get the impression it's not the soundtrack as heard in the film, what ever the French title was... or was it SOUTHERN ROUTES in English? But anyway, I have the music in my head and the absolutely greeeaaat (alto?) sax was by Phil Woods, and the woooonderful baritone sax by Gerry Mulligan, from... what I distantly recall.

Ah! Gerry Mulligan! THE FINAL PROGRAMME! Weeeiiird Robert Fuest-directed great misfire based on the Michael Moorcock novel. I can't remember who wrote the score (I think Paul Beaver was one of the "team"), but I'll always remember the Gerry Mulligan (baritone, deffo) sax for the End Titles. Amazing, beautiful. At least I think it was Mulligan.

I'd put YouTube links to all of these, but I'm in my spaceship now.
