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.

Assuming you're asking for Jazz, here are a few living artists—

Branford Marsalis - any album. Perhaps more talented than his more famous brother. Contemporary, yet well grounded in tradition.

Joshua Redman - any album. Creative, fresh, distinctive, expressive, inspired. . .

James Carter - any album. Best recording quality of the three, yet all are excellent. Carter is edgier, crosses stylistic boundaries and blends in contemporary pop influences.
