I believe music is a language which we have to communicate with our Creator. I also believe it's a language that allows us to convey our emotions, deepest beliefs, and our character with other fellow human beings.
This is one of the reasons why I love Jazz. It's a universal language that allows us to communicate things which words are not able to.
Another of my favourite pieces in which the wailing of the sax seems to convey to me the player's desire to connect with God and yearning for His presence:

Dexter Gordon
I love this you tube clip from this jazz movie called "Round Midnight". It features my favourite sax player, Dexter Gordon.
His phrasing is great, improv melodious, tells a story, his tone full, bright, big, rich and focused.
Enjoy his playing of a ballad here in a short clip from the movie!
