I'm familiar with both those tunes but had to play them back for the gutbucket-factor and the first sax-solo cuts it...arty has maceo ripping old school phrases on his alto but it's not the same thing.
Overall though, that the alto and-yuck!-soprano sax are generally used outside of jazz for sax-solos in the past decades is kind of sad to me; *Connie Francis* had a gutbucket-solo on "Vacation" (great tune, I like it more than "Hey jude"-MUCH more...) back in the day, if someone that white-bread can use it, it's strange to me that more cutting-edge artists don't use it; I guess it's just too tied up to it's era...
