I’d have Coltrane at #1 and I’d also have Sidney Bechet in the top ten.

Bechet’s version of Petite Fleur.. still one of my favorite jazz instrumentals:

I was think Bechet and Benny Carter in the top ten, or pretty close. Eric Dolphy too. But it’s more like for his music overall, not just playing the saxaphone.
