I researched the web and compiled a Tenor Sax Player List from Forum Posts at Sax On The Web's most popular boards on the topic. The question was asked - Who is your favorite living Tenor Saxophone Player?
Nearly 20 pages of replies gave me a great starting point. I then added my favorite Tenor Saxophonists missing Tenor Players and I began adding the 'not so living' Tenor Saxophone Hero's from the past also. See a Favorite Tenor Sax Player missing - email me please. Thanks for all the emails. I do add Tenor Saxophonists as time allows. Many a Sax Player has recorded on more than one Saxophone and I will try and be fair to any of the "NAMES" that have spent some time blowing a Tenor Sax and making it sound good. Thanks again for taking the time to email with so many tenor great players to include!!
