Examples of sax & Guitar unison solo lines in jazz/funk
April 26, 2020 10:29 AM Subscribe
I'm looking for examples of saxophone and guitar playing the same (or working very tightly together) as an alternative to the traditional improvised solo.
Ideally they are complex lines--not just a melody. The style is jazz/funk/jam. I am sure I heard an example when checking out bands such as Naughty Professor and Organ Freeman, but I just can't find any now. Trumpet/guitar examples also would be helpful.

Maybe some older Tower of Power and/or Weather Report?

Michael Brecker and Pat Metheny did a lot of unison lines in Brecker's various groups. Try Nothing Personal by Michael Brecker on youtube.
Trumpet and guitar will get you some Brecker Brothers tunes. Randy Brecker, Michael's brother, plays trumpet. A canonic funk tunes would be Some Skunk Funk by The Brecker Brothers. Sax and trumpet tend to play fast harmony lines with the guitar doing counterpoint, but there's lots of melody lines that are tight and intertwined.
