I was browsing through my cds, when I noticed I had 12 recordings with Scott Hamilton playing sax.
Great tone and great lines.

Sax players I like... too many! I'll just name a couple: Joe Henderson and Jerry Bergonzi.
-
Canonball

Funny, when I saw the title I thought Scott Hamilton, too. Also Zoot Sims. And Johnny Hodges.
-
So many....
Ike Quebec, Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz, Lester Young, Paul Desmond, Ben Webster, Cannonball, Jimmy Forrest, Hank Mobley, Sonny Rollins, Houston Person, Dexter Gordon, Joshua Redman, Johnny Hodges, King Curtis.

Also a big Kenny Garrett fan. The way he can develop rhythmic ideas is so tight. I'm working on transcribing this solo right now.
I also quite like Mark Turner and Brandford Marsalis. And theres a guy named Mike Troy in NYC who's starting to get prominent. He doesn't have much of an online presence but there are some smalls live recordings of his groups, and he plays with Russel Hall's group too. He's in the Trane/Ornette school of playing I'd say.

No particular order: Prez, Bird, Cannonball, Illinois Jacquet, Paul Gonsalvez, Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, James Moody, Jimmy Heath, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Archie Shepp, Trane (I do not ike the late stuff, "Love Supreme" etc.), Don Byas, Paul Desmond, Buddy Tate, Louis Jordan, Pepper Adams, Serge Chaloff, Charles McPherson, Gerry Mulligan, Eric Dolphy, Yusef Lateef, Roland Rahsan Kirk, John Handy, Booker Erwin, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Cecil Payne, Leo Parker, Heinz Sauer, Johnny Hodges ...
Posting this on a guitar forum I realize that I have listened much more to jazz saxophonists and pianists than to guitarists.

Me too! Mainly because of the second disk of the incredible Five Peace Band album. Too incredible for words... Originally Posted by BreckerFan

Gary Bartz is also awesome...

Oh man somehow I missed this album, that's a stacked lineup tho I'll have to check it out. Originally Posted by James W

And then he was sideman on the two records that Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw did together, some great playing on those.

My fav is Dexter. But if I want to get my groove on it’s got to be Gerald Albright! He’s a long time LA session musician who made it big with this album:

Check out Yusef Lateef (and Barry Harris on piano) playing this
moat beautiful ballad performance ever? It’s up there imo.

Thanks. (BTW I noticed beneath the youtube video I posted it says Herbie Hancock plays on tracks 2 - 3, which is not in fact true, he only plays on track 3). Originally Posted by BreckerFan

Not much to add to the above. I love all the classic players. I probably listen most to Trane, Getz, Cannonball and Dexter. Also kudoes to Bernie Maupin for his bass clarinet on so many Miles and Herbie Hancock.
More recent players: Joe Henderson, Joe Farrell, Kenny Garrett.
I actually don't listen to a lot of young sax players, for no particular reason except I prefer guitar-based music these days. But I do like Donny McCaslin, and in fact listened to his incredible sax work on Bowie's last album Blackstar yesterday. Phenomenal work on that album by all musicians.

Paul Desmond - especially with Ed Bickert or Jim Hall
Stan Getz circa 1962, His tone changed later in life.
James Carter - great, adventurous player - 'Chasin' the Gypsy' is a great record
Charles Lloyd - thanks for 'Forrest Flower' and his modern band with Leisz and Frisell
Benny Carter - love his inflected arpeggios style
Earl Bostic - great ideas and facility plus that unique "strip club" raspy tone
-
Yes, indeed! That Toronto set is one of my most played sets. Originally Posted by AndyV

Yeah all those guys, but I'd swap Buddy, Serge and Heinz (cos I don't know them) for Jackie Maclean and Tina Brooks, oh and Michael Brecker, which is about as modern as I get with the Saxers, I should get out more... Originally Posted by Bop Head
