The sax at the end of Bowie's "Modern Love" isn't quite low-key, but it's sax-as-song-ending.

Edwin McCain - I'll Be
I never realized there was so much going on in the fadeout though. there's got to be an uncut version where the sax player keeps cookin/steamin/workin for like 20 minutes after Edwin stops yarling

Dylan's Where Teardrops Fall has a nice one (also described in Chronicles):
In the finale of the song, Dopsie’s saxophone player, John Hart, played a sobbing solo that nearly took my breath away. I leaned over and caught a glimpse of the musician’s face. He’d been sitting there all night in the dark and I hadn’t noticed him… (he) was the spitting image of Blind Gary Davis, the singing reverend that I’d known and followed around years before. What was he doing here? Same guy, same cheeks and chin, fedora, dark glasses….It was eerie….like he’d been raised upright and was watching over things, keeping constant vigilance over what was happening. He peered across the room at me in an odd way, like he had the ability to see beyond the moment, like he’d thrown a rope line out to grip. All of a sudden I know that I’m in the right place doing the right thing at the right time and Lanois is the right cat. Felt like I had turned a corner and was seeing the sight of a god’s face.

'Down By The Sea' by Men At Work, which is a pretty, low-key song. Not so much a solo, instead it has touches of sax throughout, but as the ending drifts off, the sax makes these lovely little gestures.
