Great Saxophone Artists and Albums


I'm looking for well recorded masterpiece of saxophone albums. Can you recommend a few artists and their albums. I was familiar with Kenny G's - that was over 10 years ago. Any other different styles and genre of saxophone performers?

Thanks.

Johnny Hodges is hands down one of the finest Sax players. He played a lot with Duke Ellington. Johnny Hodges has many albums on the Verve label. Also, Grover Wahington Jr. "Mr Magic".Julian Cannonball Adderley played with Miles Davis a lot. Gerry Mulligan, Ben Webster , Coleman Hawkins anything by these guys.Also,David Sanborn "Voyage". Paul Desmond played with Dave Brubeck. Gene Ammons is also high on my list of favs. And last but not least for now is Stanley Turrentine...Awesome SAX!
O and PLEASE don't mention Kenny G's name when talking about great Sax players....ROFL
