There’s nothing sexier than Eric Dolphy playing the sax! No, nothing sexy about it. Make it “There’s nothing more annoying than Eric Dolphy playing the sax!” No, Dolpy is dry-ice cool, an annoying manner. Kenny G is just plain annoying. How about “There’s nothing sexy about the saxophone at all?” A jazz trio (piano, bass, drums), on the other hand, can be VERY sexy! As can classical duets between piano and violin. Something French from the late 19th or early 20th century. ---

We have a local college station that plays interestin jazz. As brillant as he was, at 7am Eric Dolphy can be annoying. ---

Reminds me of something I heard about WCLV (the Cleveland classical station) programming policies, back in the 1970s…“No sopranos before ten in the morning!” > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dropzone \* > \*\*A jazz trio (piano, bass, drums), on the other hand, can be VERY sexy! As can classical duets between piano and violin. \*\* Nope, sorry, wrong. Nothing remotely sexy about drums, drummers, or drumming. Now, a Nat King Cole-style jazz trio…piano, guitar, bass…THAT can be very sexy indeed. re: piano/violin/sex. You ever read Tolstoy’s short story, “The Kreutzer Sonata” ? It’s about a man whose wife is a pianist…one evening as he listens to her performing the Beethoven composition of the title, he perceives, from the musical interplay, that she and the violinist are having an affair. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TwistofFate \* > \*\*Great Gig in the Sky… god… that is one track that would inspire you to make love to your SO with for hours on end to. > > Best Bliss out moment, when the piano intro stops and theat beautiful, beautiful voice starts to rise…mmmmmmmmmmmm. \*\* While the original track is excellent, if you can get hold of the album (or better yet, the hifi video tape) of _Delicate Sound of Thunder_, the version here is done with three vocalists: contrasting voices, a small bit of harmony, and loads of feeling. Superb!!! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/saxy-baby-you-are-so-saxy/38524.md?page=1)
