My favorite saxophonist - all the more so since he save Lester Young from drowning. And you couldn't ask for better accompanists.

My top six:

Ben Webster
Colman Hawkins
John Coltrane
Stan Getz
Dexter Gordon
Gerry Mulligan

I don’t know why, I never got into Charlie Parker. His style just never appealed to me. I loved Ben Webster, tried to imitate his style when I was learning how to play! And, I will admit, my opinion on John Coltrane is almost entirely based on his “Ballads” album.
