Itd actually work if his timing was better.

Is this what inspired Neil Young on Cinnamon Girl?

I use that same set of notes when I improvise, too.

I've never heard a sax sound like a kazoo. Amazing.

Pretty bad, really.

Cant give a recording, just a story.
A talented young student, already very very good soloist. They had a big event, big big band. Many singers. Great list of good pop music. And he had 1 single solo in the whole set. He overblew it and couldn't recover fast enough before his part was over.
This was recorded with 2 crane cameras, uber embarrassing for him.. but of course, everyone understood the issue. NP! Just funny in a few years time

I love it

Here's their biggest hit, "In The Still of the Night." The sax solo isn't great but it's fine.

He later became well known as a harpist but judging by this recording, it must have been one of his first efforts on the instrument (solo at 1'44"):

...and then there's this:

I was going to post a video of Putin's recent visit to Saudi Arabia - the Saudi's rendition of the Russian national anthem made him wince, but then I remembered this...
