Shazz Man is a Danish producer and songwriter who can also turn his head to the name Jesper Sidelmann. I'm still checking out the guy, but the Jazz Monster album he released back in 2010 has definitely something to say to me in a very jazzy and groovy kind of way. If you haven't heard of him so far, now is your chance with this album presentation which can give you a quite good preview of the album.
The "Flavour" track is the first one that blew me away -but for some reason it's not included in the album presentation- while I also love "Traffic Jam" and "Thinkin' lunch" (you can preview them here as well with their titles and all). Oh well, don't mind me. Check him out yourself and find your own favorite classy tune.

It may be absolutely pointless, but sometimes when I listen to music I try to figure out which instrument is more important for the well-being of my ears. Can't seem to be able to decide on that, at least not in a permanent basis. I can't imagine a track without a kickin' bassline, but I can't help but fallin' for a few piano chords or sax inspirations, especially when they magically match the rest of the track. It's like bass is my mate, but I 'm secretely having an affair with the saxophone and can just as easily fall for a mellow guitar riff, a smooth piano part or a sexy drum beat. Kinda slutty, I know. That's why I chose saxophone - for today...
Some sax favorites off the top of my head.
Brad Shitt - Casbah breakdown
The ultimate goose bump
Wilton Felder (feat. Bobby Womack) - Inherit the wind (The revenge rework)
Sexy sax
Skingz - Just for your love
This love is pretty saxy
Danny Hybrid & the Nufunk Allstars - Green Groove (Part 1 &2)
Part 1: sax and part 2: piano. What more can I ask for?
Jask presents the Thaisoul Orchestra - Jack's theme
Don't faint just yet
Physics - 7 a.m. sessions
Standard for an early a.m. situation
St. Germain - Rose Rouge
Along with the trumpet, it can kill you
