List of jazz saxophonistsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jazz saxophonists are musicians who play various types of saxophones (alto saxophone, tenor

saxophone,baritone saxophone etc.) in jazz and its associated subgenres. The techniques and

instrumentationofthistype ofperformancehaveevolvedover the 20th century, influenced by both

movements of musicians that became the subgenres and by particularly influential sax players whohelped reshape the music.

In the 1930s, during the swing and big band era, saxophonists like altoist Johnny Hodges (19061970),

who led the saxophone section in theDuke Ellington Big Band, were featured soloists in a highly

structured system of playing where such solos were limited moments of musical freedom.

In the early 1940s, jazz saxophonists such as Charlie Parker (alto, tenor) and Sonny Stitt (alto, tenor) led

a rebellion against the strictures of big band jazz, shifting away from danceable popular music towards a

more challenging "musician's music" that would come to be called bebop, with solos that included more

chromaticism and dissonance. Charlie Parker is particularly noted for his groundbreaking solotechniques that is still widely admired today. He was credited to be one of the major influences of the

bebop movement.

In the 1950s, sax players like tenor saxophonist John Coltrane (19261967) and Sonny Rollins (born

1930) broke new ground in jazz, infusing their music with rhythm and blues, modal, Latin and gospel

influences as part of the hard bop subgenre.

In the 1950s and 1960s, free jazz pioneers such as Ornette Coleman (born 1930) and Albert Ayler

developed unusual new sounds and playingstyles.

In the early 1960s, Woody Herman's lead "(Four) Brother", Stan Getz, played cool jazz with Brazilian

musicians in the emerging bossa nova style. Getz was known for his rich tone, ability to swing and

impeccable technique.

In the 1970s, fusion jazz blended rock and jazz, withsaxophonistslike Wayne Shorter and brothers

Michael and Randy Brecker at the front of that movement.

In the 1980s, smooth jazz saxophonists such as Kenny G (Kenny Gorelick,born 1956, soprano, alto,

tenor), Bob Mintzer (tenor and bass clarinet) and David Sanborn (born 1945, alto, soprano) played a

radio-friendly style of fusion called smooth jazz.Other notable smooth jazz saxophonists include Dave

Koz, Jeff Kashiwa, Brandon Fields.

In the 1990s and 2000s, Joshua Redman (born 1969, alto, soprano, tenor) and Chris Potter (tenor)

returned to a more traditional approach which harked back to the saxophone greats of the 1950s and

1960s.

Notable jazz saxophonists include:
