Pharaoh Sanders last album is one for the ages.
This may not be true of every jazzer, but a lot of sax players sure put out great work not too long before they passed.

I've been listening to a Frank Lowe album called Lowe Down & Blue with Bern Nix on guitar.
Steve Lacy is someone I keep returning to. His recorded output is absolutely vast.

Don’t sleep on Warne Marsh….

As for sax players I don't like, I saw Archie Shepp live in Rome in 1976. That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.
A lot of what John Klemmer has recorded falls into the smooth jazz bucket but I like this duo album ...

He just kept evolving to the end, a favorite is his reading of When The Sun Comes Out from his "Wintermoon" lp

Just to name a Sax-Player besides the usual suspects:
Big Jay Mcneely
-
Gato Barbieri
Eric Dolphy
Charlie Rouse with Monk's Quartet
-
Spike Robinson with Martin Taylor on guitar. Released 1984.
I heard Spike play a few times in the past. I liked his breathy sax tone.
