If I had to pick a period in music where the saxophone was "bad" I would say the late 70s US "No Wave" movement.Bands of the genre would play out of tune guitars and use the sax as a weapon in a over the top jazz frenzy till your ears couldn't stand anymore....and bleed lol.
I wont give examples on this thread because its called "The joy of Sax" and we are here to celebrate the instrument.
Here is an exception Lydia Lunch [ previously with the aptly named No Wavesters TEENAGE JESUS and THE JERKS] doing a classic dark song....."Gloomy Sunday" The sax adding to the mood just lovely
