Good insturmental sax jazz recommindations

I can't say that I've heard a lot from every artist previously mentioned. However, I can say that everything I've heard by Yusef Lateef is excellent in my book.

If you like laid back Jazz, try Houston Persons. If you like jazz with a tad of influence from the big band sound, try Scott Hamilton, if you like cool jazz try Paul Desmond, and then there is always Ben Webster and Jerry Mulligan.

Newbee, have you heard "Gerry Mulligan Meets Scott Hamilton: Soft Lights and Sweet Music" on Concord? It's a nice recording that shows off the talents of both of these great artists.

Yes, indeed. And I agree. Concord Jazz has an outstanding catalog, IMHO. Also, really worth hearing is "Jerry Mulligan meets Ben Webster". Enjoy........

Ben Webster does, indeed, get a sweet sound out of a sax like no one else. Makes that sax cry like a baby....
