Suggestions for solo transcription or certain riffs.

So most of my improv studies in jazz have been on playing over changes, I never really did much with the blues and now that i'm in a funk/rock/jam/hip-hop band I really need that bluesy sax sound so I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for some good riffs from songs or even a solo i should transcribe, I need the most help with the more rockish type minor blues, i'm looking for anything easy to hard, a variety would probably be better, and I guess thats it. Any input will be appreciated, thanks.

        eric marianthal is a great rock alto player look at michael brecker for some blusey sounds or the brecker brothers cannonball adderley was a blues giant as well just because its was not rock in the first place doesnt mean you can use it joshua redmans elastic band or any of joshua redman's funk stuff is good too

          You should check out King Curtis--most of the people mentioned abovesound like they have listened to him also.
