The Saxophone makes a mix-between woodwind and brass sound. The saxophone has a unique sound though and it varies between which type of saxophone or even the player.
The saxophone generally makes a smooth-bold sound, but it may be hard to understand this in words. Bold in this case would be rich, filled, similar to a bold coffee. Certain people like bold coffees and certain people like a little weaker coffee, or an airier saxophone sound.

∙ 11y agoGo to amazon and search for "Kenny G". You will hear the saxaphone!
Just off the top of my head, without doing any research, some songs with saxaphone are:
Beach Boys "Kokomo"
Numerous Hall & Oats songs (such as "Maneater")
Billy Ocean "Caribbean Queen" (solo in the bridge section)
Huey Lewis and the News "Heart of Rock and Roll" (solo in the bridge section)
Pink Floyd "Money" (solo in the bridge section) and throughout the following song "Us and Them" and the rest of the "Dark Side of the Moon" album (which EVERY music lover MUST own).
This is kind of fun... any other music questions? Anyone? :)

∙ 11y agoIt all depends on the mouthpiece, reed, and the horn itself. They're all designed for different sounds. With the right equipment and skills you can make a warm, beautiful classical sound or an upbeat, brassy jazz sound.
Or if you'd rather, you can make it literally sound like a piece of crap, as Kenny G and David Sanborn like to do.
