You mentioned rock, and this is about THE coolest song recorded in the rock genre.
The sax riff during the last minute of the song is a classic (it was used in a commercial by a major company a year or two ago).

There is a LOT of saxophone quintet music and Quintessence is one of the most famous classical sax ensembles. A few friends of mine played for years in the Disneyland Sax Quintet - Soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and contrabass sax.
Quintessence plays Vivaldi.

As much as I detest Bruce Springsteen's music [sic], his song
Rosalita has a decent sax lead. But if you really want to learn the best, then I suggest fusion jazz such as
Joe Farrell or
Return to Forever.

Amazon: Blow, Blow, BlowBig Jay McNeely is still blowing a honking sax (photo circa 1952 and yes he still gets on his back and plays)
---
Grady Gaines is still blowing a horn too.
He had a band called The Upsetters (not to be confused with a reggae band of the same name) in the 1950s and was later tapped to be Little Richard's band leader for his Specialty cuts in the 1950s. After Little Richard gave up rock and roll for religion, Grady went back to the Upsetters and then found a gig as Sam Cooke's band leader until Sam's death in the 1960s.
Bip Bop Bip sounds like Little Richard twice as manic. It's actually Don Covay backed by the Upsetters. Don was opening for Little Richard and the Upsetters in those days.
The Upsetters' Upsetter has found new life being covered by Jim Jones Revue (UK) as Cement Mixer
One of the last things Boots Randolph ever recorded (literally) was this cover of I Put A Spell On You with Scotty Moore, Billy Swan, and others. I don't care for the other cuts on this album so much but this one I liked (and it's a bit more slow and emotional than the above rocking cuts of honking sax, more of which can be found here:
Subtitled - The History Of The Honkin' & Screamin' Saxophone. Not for the faint hearted, this compilation of 106 tracks bursts at the seams with the sound of 50 hard blowing saxophonists who, between 1942-1952, formed the nucleus of what became known as the Honkers & Screamers. Artists include Illinois Jacquet, Arnett Cobb, Wild Bill Moore, Paul Williams, Hal Singer, & many more. Includes 68-page illustrated booklet with biographies of the players & full discography details. Four standard jewel cases housed in a slipbox. Proper. 2003
).

In a totally different vein, there is The Beau Hunks The Beau Hunks Saxophone Soctette (a side project for the Beau Hunks consisting of pieces adapted for 7 saxaphones)
----
And Steve MacKay is back playing free jazz saxophone over pro-punks The Stooges on their recent reunion shows
Here he can be heard on the original recording of The Stooges Fun House

Post-punk sax funk and scronk from James Chance can be heard here and here:
