For some reason I listen to more tenor sax players than alto sax players. Since I have listed my top five tenor sax players I guess I might as well list my top five (only five?) alto sax players.
- Charlie Parker ( a real no-brainer)
- Sonny Stitt
- Cannonball Adderly
- Jackie McLean
- Art Pepper
Honorable Mention: Gary Bartz, Ornette Coleman. Hmmm..........anyone else? I'm sure I'm probably forgetting a lot of them but I'm drawing a real blank on alto players.
